Minnesota enters the weekend perched atop the WNBA standings, holding a comfortable 3.5-game cushion over second-place Phoenix. The Lynx have claimed victory in four of their last five outings, their lone stumble coming at the hands of the Mercury. In their most recent win, it was Natisha Hiedeman who stepped up in a big way, pouring in 18 points off the bench to help power past the Los Angeles Sparks.

The Sky, meanwhile, are trying to claw their way out of the lower rungs of the league. A promising win over the Dallas Wings earlier this week offered a glimmer of hope, bumping Chicago up from the league cellar to 10th place, leapfrogging both the Wings and the Sparks in the standings.

Chicago Sky vs Minnesota Lynx Team News & Key Performers

Chicago Sky Team News

Rebecca Allen was the x-factor in that victory. The veteran guard erupted for a season-high 27 points, knocking down five triples in just seven attempts from beyond the arc. It marked her first game in double figures since May and her best offensive outing of the year. Now in her first season with Chicago after a stint in Phoenix, Allen is starting to find her rhythm at just the right time.

Chicago’s centerpiece remains rookie sensation Angel Reese, who continues to dominate the glass, leading the league with an eye-popping 12.8 rebounds per game. She's also putting up 13.3 points per outing, making her one of the few players in the league averaging a double-double. Her meteoric rise in popularity has earned her a spot on the cover of NBA 2K26, the first WNBA player to receive the honor. The Sky’s top scorer, however, is Ariel Atkins, who’s averaging 13.8 PPG, despite a quiet seven-point night against Dallas.

Minnesota Lynx Team News

Back in Minnesota, Hiedeman has quietly carved out a key role as the leader of the Lynx second unit. Averaging 7.9 points off the bench, the veteran guard is in her second year with the team after spending five seasons in Connecticut. But make no mistake, the engine that drives the Lynx is Napheesa Collier. The All-Star forward is putting up MVP-caliber numbers, averaging 23.5 points and 7.9 rebounds per contest. A five-time All-Star and two-time First Team selection, Collier continues to be a dominant two-way presence.

Courtney Williams will also represent Minnesota in the All-Star Game. The crafty point guard is contributing 14 points and dishing out nearly six assists a night while controlling the pace and flow of the Lynx offense.
