WNBA

6 boards for the WNBA season, all built around the same idea: a player’s numbers mean more once you know who they are up against.

• SlateTwo views of the same date. Top Matchups is a shortlist of what stands out in each game. Full Matchups opens one game and reads its defense two ways — shot location and position.
• 1st PointWho is most likely to score the first point of each game, with the reasoning opened up into the pieces behind it rather than handed over as one number.
• Defense vs PositionWhat each defense allows by position, ranked across the league. A team can defend well overall while being the place opposing guards go to score, and a single team rating hides that.
• RotationsWho was on the floor, when, and with whom — rebuilt from play-by-play into stints and lineup combinations. It turns a minutes total into a picture of how a rotation is actually used.
• TargetsShot-zone vulnerability: which defenses give up production in which areas of the floor, and which players on the slate shoot from exactly those areas.
• LeadersRank every player by any stat, including where on the floor the shot came from, and export the ranking as a shareable board.

Every board is included with an account, and the numbers behind them refresh through the day — a posted inactive or a late scratch shows up rather than going stale. Create an account to open them.
