The league returned to action last week with a series of lopsided outcomes. Of the 13 games played around the WNBA, just one game finished with a margin below nine points.
With players regaining their legs after that month-plus Olympic intermission, rotations are likely to be refined for this upcoming week of action. In this week ahead, let’s keep a closer eye on any fluctuations in roles regarding minutes and shot diets, such as the recent surge in exposure and usage for Phoenix Mercury guard Sophie Cunningham. The emergent Mercury talent lived up to last week’s streaming endorsement, having just delivered a rousing double-double performance to close out the weekend.
Looking at the schedule for the week ahead, the league is dormant on Monday, followed by multiple games played in five of the next six days. With an eye on finding some of the better interim additions for this coming week in WNBA, the selection of streaming candidates below factors in recent rotation, production and usage trends, as well as looming matchup metrics. Players are listed in order of preference.
