What the numbers say going in
Dallas has been scoring heavily, putting up 87.9 points per game—just 0.9 more than the 87.0 points per game Portland gives up.
Portland’s offense has averaged 81.9 points per game, which is 1.4 fewer than Dallas allows at 83.3 per game.
Individual production will matter if lineups hold. Jessica Shepard averages 13.7 points, 5.8 assists and 11.1 rebounds per contest.
Bridget Carleton adds 13.3 points, 1.9 assists and 3.4 rebounds per contest.
One swing point sits right in the middle of the injury list and the scouting notes. Bueckers is questionable with an ankle, while Odyssey Sims is out with an ankle—two changes that could reshape Dallas’s scoring and rhythm against a Portland team defending slightly differently than Dallas allows.

If Paige’s ankle is questionable then why they even saying she leads with 31 like that doesn’t matter lol.
Portland 6-8 vs Dallas 8-4 and it’s still close? Sounds like Portland is always overrated in the headlines and then surprises nobody.
Questionable ankle is basically out right? Like I feel like questionable means they already decided she won’t play. Also KFAA? I can never find that channel.
I saw Paige scored 31 and I’m like okay easy win… then the ankle thing and Odyssey sims being out?? That game at 8:30 sounds cursed. Hope Carla Leite is fine because Portland’s defense always seems tired to me.
