## Diggins Primed for Playmaking Performance as Storm Face Undefeated Lynx

**Minneapolis, MN** – The Seattle Storm travel to the Target Center tonight to face the undefeated Minnesota Lynx in an anticipated WNBA showdown. All eyes are on Storm guard Skylar Diggins, who analysts predict will have a standout performance, particularly in the assist category.

Diggins, in her second season with the Storm, has been on a tear, averaging 19 points, 8.8 assists, and 2.0 rebounds per game while shooting an impressive 45.5% from beyond the arc. Recent performances suggest Diggins is particularly focused on playmaking, exceeding 7.5 assists in her last three games, with totals of eight, 14, and nine assists, respectively. Her current assist numbers are well above her career average of 5.2, a testament to her increased confidence and commitment to involving her teammates.

“Diggins has been picking apart opponents,” says sports analyst Quinn Allen. “She’s playing with a different level of confidence and getting everyone involved.”

The Lynx, while currently undefeated, have been allowing an average of 18 assists per game, a potential vulnerability that Diggins is expected to exploit.

However, the Storm face a tough challenge in the Lynx, largely due to the dominant play of forward Napheesa Collier. Collier is averaging a stellar 29.5 points per game, shooting 53% from three-point range. Her past performance against Seattle last year suggests she will continue to be a major offensive threat.

Despite Collier’s presence, analysts are also anticipating a strong scoring performance from Diggins, who has shown her ability to put up points on the road.

**Key Players to Watch:**

* **Seattle Storm:** Skylar Diggins (Guard) – Projected to excel in both assists and scoring.
* **Minnesota Lynx:** Napheesa Collier (Forward) – Expected to continue her MVP-caliber season.

**Injury Report:**

* **Seattle Storm:** Katie Lou Samuelson (Out)
* **Minnesota Lynx:** Kayla McBride (Probable)

**Last Season:** The Lynx held a 3-1 advantage over the Storm in regular-season matchups last year.
