PREVIEW: The Seattle Storm enter Saturday's clash against the Golden State Valkyries riding a three-game winning streak and looking to solidify their standing in the Western Conference. The Storm have won each of their last three games in the Commissioner's Cup and are currently positioned 5th overall in the WNBA standings, just a half game behind the Atlanta Dream. Led by Skylar Diggins, who averages 17.8 points and 6.4 assists per game, the Storm boast a well-rounded offensive attack that ranks 5th in the league with 81.7 points per game and a solid defensive performance allowing 79.3 points. Their ShotQuality data reveals they excel in efficient attacking rim shots (ranked 2nd) and high-frequency midrange shooting (also ranked 2nd). The Golden State Valkyries come into this matchup having won their last two games, though they'll be without Janelle Salaun, who is out with an injury. After a slow start to their inaugural season, the Valkyries have shown recent improvement, winning back-to-back games and maintaining a competitive roster with five players averaging double-digit scoring. Their ShotQuality metrics highlight impressive strengths, including allowing few shots at the rim on defense (ranked 2nd) and boasting high-frequency 3-point shooting (ranked 2nd). Despite ranking 11th in scoring with 78.3 points per game, they remain dangerous, particularly with their 6th-ranked three-point production of 8.8 made per game.
