Key Player Matchups
Paige Bueckers (DAL) vs. Rickea Jackson (LA)
Bueckers leads Dallas with 19.1 PPG and has torched LA in recent meetings, including a 44-point game on Aug. 20. Jackson scored 25 in that same matchup and is LA’s go-to scorer late in games.
Maddy Siegrist (DAL) vs. Dearica Hamby (LA)
Siegrist’s perimeter shooting (1.7 threes per game in last 10) will be tested by Hamby’s physical defense and rebounding (21.0 PPG last 10 games).
Azurá Stevens (LA) vs. Teaira McCowan (DAL)
Stevens’ mobility and mid-range game against McCowan’s size and rim protection could swing the paint battle.
