The Lynx are led by 2024 Defensive Player of the Year, Naphessa Collier. The core group of Collier, Kayla McBride (14.5 points per game), Courtney Williams (13.9 points per game), and rounding the group out is Alanna Smith (9.8 points per game).

This group makes up 71.8% of the Lynx’s scoring this season.

Jewell Loyd led the Aces in the last game scoring 12 points, while Jackie Young and Chelsea Gray dished out 6 assists in the loss.
