Maya Caldwell - Records team-best 16 points Caldwell racked up 16 points (6-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 22 minutes during Thursday's 100-72 win over the Tempo.

Impact Caldwell was on fire from behind the three-point line, accounting for four of the team's 10 triples. She also did a good job on the defensive end, recording a steal and a block in the steal in the same game for the first time this season. She had managed just 11 total points in the first four games, including scoreless efforts in two of the past three outings.

Natasha Howard - Contributes in multiple categories Howard racked up 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 FT), six rebounds and three assists in 22 minutes during Thursday's 100-72 victory over Toronto.

Impact Howard was one of five Lynx players to score at least 13 points, while contributing favorably in both rebounds and assists. She had four turnovers, which isn't optimal, and the 34-year-old veteran has at least four miscues in every game this season. Still, she also has at least 13 points in four consecutive outings, and at least five rebounds in all five contests this season.

Nia Coffey - Doesn't miss from field Coffey posted eight points (4-4 FG), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Thursday's 100-72 victory over the Tempo.

Impact Coffey didn't take a ton of shots on the offensive end, but when she did shoot, she couldn't miss. The 30-year-old veteran has been a bit erratic in the scoring department, but she has been very accurate from the field. Coffey has hit 71.4 percent or better from the field in three of the previous four contests.

Courtney Williams - Generates 15 points in win Williams finished with 15 points (6-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt), eight rebounds and three assists across 29 minutes in Thursday's 100-72 win over Toronto.

Impact Williams had another productive game Thursday, posting her fifth double-digit scoring effort of the 2026 campaign. She also accumulated a season-high eight rebounds. The 32-year-old went 1-for-8 from behind the arc in the first two games of the season. Since then, Williams has turned it around by sinking nine of her 18 attempts from downtown in her last three appearances.

Impact Hof has already appeared in two games this season for the Lynx, most recently logging three points, three rebounds and two assists in 11 minutes Sunday against Chicago. She'll sit Thursday in an effort to preserve her eligibility, as she can appear in 10 more games as dictated by her developmental contract.
