The Golden State Valkyries (10-11) face the Seattle Storm (13-9) in Seattle as the WNBA season's second half begins, with playoff seeding implications.
The Valkyries, seeking to improve their playoff position despite only one win in their last three games, are led by Kayla Thornton (14.5 points, 7.1 rebounds, 1.4 steals per game). Veronica Burton provides playmaking (5.4 assists, 11.1 points, 4 rebounds), and Tiffany Hayes adds scoring (13.5 points, over 45% from three).
The Storm hold the league's fourth-best record, having won three of their last five games. They excel defensively, allowing only 79.0 points per game. Key contributors include Skylar Diggins-Smith (frequently leading scorer and assister), Nneka Ogwumike (18.4 points, 9.8 rebounds), and Ezi Magbegor (13.6 points, 7.7 rebounds).
