Cameron Brink | Los Angeles Sparks

8/9 vs Golden State

8/10 vs Seattle

8/12 vs New York

In just three games since returning from an ACL injury that kept her out for over a year, Cam has averaged 3.0 blocks per game. With volleyball like verticality, she has already made a statement on defense. On Tuesday, in a win over red-hot Indiana, she swatted FIVE shots and was the defensive anchor LA needed to grab that big win. As she continues to work her way back and increase her minutes (eventually landing in the starting lineup), she could be the missing piece to their puzzle for a postseason push. The Sparks currently sit at 9th in the standings, just out of the playoff picture, something that could certainly change this week.

Jewell Loyd | Las Vegas Aces

8/8 vs Seattle

8/10 vs Connecticut

8/13 vs New York

Since being relegated to coming off the bench two weeks ago, Jewell has looked the best she has all year! A season-high 27 points vs Golden State was a result of a season-high seven triples, looking sharper and more confident in her new role. The Aces are 4-1 in these past five games and have pushed over .500 and into the postseason picture, currently sitting at 7th. With improved scoring production, the Aces will look to exact revenge on Seattle and New York, having dropped recent meetings against both. Loyd’s efforts could launch Vegas to a 3-0 week, which would have them ascend the standings and work wonders for their confidence as a collective.

Elizabeth Williams | Chicago Sky

8/9 vs Indiana

8/13 vs Connecticut

With no concrete timeline for Angel Reese’s return and Chicago currently on a downward spiral, another double-double machine has emerged: Enter, Elizabeth Williams! She has moved into the starting lineup in Reese’s absence and has recorded consecutive double-doubles in the last two games, one being a win over Washington to break an 8-game skid. Williams has stepped up and made an immediate impact as the Sky look to desperately work their way out of 11th place. A big showing could make for a win over Indy on Saturday in what would be their first of the season.

Aaliyah Edwards | Connecticut Sun

8/10 vs Las Vegas

8/11 vs Golden State

8/13 vs Chicago

Fresh off a trade from Washington, Aaliyah enters Week 13 in CT threads ready to make noise. Her minutes (and production) have been limited all season with the Mystics, down in every stat across the board from a year ago. She brings size and versatility to a team desperately searching for answers… and wins. She will compliment fellow Husky Tina Charles nicely in the frontcourt as they look to escape last place in the standings. Connecticut currently ranks last in the league in scoring and rebounding, two things Li can instantly contribute to. While the playoffs might not be in the picture this year, it’s never too late to build chemistry and assemble pieces for next year.

Stephanie Talbot | New York Liberty

8/8 vs Dallas

8/10 vs Minnesota

8/12 vs Los Angeles

8/13 vs Las Vegas

Steph is emerging as a key reserve for the Libs, boosting her stock in Tuesday’s game against Dallas. She’s able to score and rebound at a high level, adding yet another layer of efficient 3-point mastery and size to an already tall and dangerous outside shooting NY team. With Stewie still sidelined, it’s the perfect chance for Steph to step up this [very loaded] week when her number is called. And when Stewie returns…and with the addition of former Finals MVP Emma Meesseman, she will complement this team well and give them yet another reliable scoring option as NY gears up for a title defense.

Dominique Malonga | Seattle Storm

8/8/ vs Las Vegas

8/10 vs Los Angeles

8/13 vs Atlanta

Seattle has a few things to figure out as they’re currently on a 3-game losing streak, but the French phenom has come alive the last two games to keep it competitive and close vs a hot Indiana (12 points) and 1st place Minnesota (12 points). It marks the first time this season she recorded back-to-back double-digit scoring performances, a sign that she’s gaining steam and newfound confidence in this second half of the regular season. We have yet to see the rookie play to her full potential, but if this is a sign of things to come, she’s well on her way and ready to put the league on notice! The Storm are sliding down the standings but currently sit at 6th, with a chance to move up a spot or two if a 3-0 week follows.
