Target Center will provide plenty of storylines on Friday when the New York Liberty takes on the Minnesota Lynx in Game 4 of the 2024 WNBA Finals. This has been a tightly contested series, with the Lynx winning the first game and the Liberty responding well with back-to-back victories.
With a 2-1 series lead, New York is just one win away from winning its elusive first WNBA title and will look to complete the mission on the road.
On the other hand, there is still hope for the Lynx. The Western Conference team will have to shoot lights out between Napheesa Collier and Kayla McBride if it is going to win Game 4 and take the series to New York for Game 5.

New York Liberty starting lineups and depth charts
It’s quite remarkable that coach Sandy Brondello effectively has her entire squad to choose from, barring any injury setbacks during the playoffs. She'll be able to field her strongest lineup, featuring Betnijah Laney-Hamilton, Leonie Fiebich, Jonquel Jones, Sabrina Ionescu and Breanna Stewart, to eliminate the Lynx and close out the championship series on the road.
Minnesota Lynx starting lineups and depth charts
Like its opponents, Cheryl Reeve’s team also has a full squad with no injury worries and will be expected to place a strong lineup to extend the series to a fifth game.
Barring any surprises, she's expected to field the same starting five as she has been using: Napheesa Collier, Bridget Carleton, Alanna Smith, Kayla McBride and Courtney Williams.
New York Liberty vs. Minnesota Lynx: Player to watch
It may seem counterintuitive not to opt for the player who leads the team in points, rebounds and blocks in the form of Breanna Stewart. But it's Sabrina Ionescu who, especially in the last two games of the series, has once again shown herself to be the main player who can be relied upon for the biggest occasions, following her stunning game-winning logo 3 a couple of days ago.
She is the perfect example of a big-game player who can be relied on on both ends of the floor. Her ability to turn up at crucial moments has been on display time and again and may well prove the difference in this series' climax.
