Key Player Matchups
Paige Bueckers (DAL) vs. Veronica Burton (GSV)
Bueckers: 18.9 PPG, 5.3 APG, 1.6 SPG — Dallas’ offensive engine, especially with Ogunbowale out.
Burton: 11.9 PPG, 5.9 APG, 4.5 RPG — Golden State’s floor general and defensive disruptor.
Amy Okonkwo (DAL) vs. Janelle Salaun (GSV)
Okonkwo: 11.4 PPG (last 5), efficient scorer from mid‑range.
Salaun: 12.4 PPG (last 10), versatile forward who can stretch the floor.
Rebounding Battle:
Both teams average 35.1 RPG, but GSV’s frontcourt depth (Temi Fagbenle, Salaun) gives them an edge against a depleted Dallas interior.
