Ezi Magbegor

Magbegor was limited to single digits in the scoring column for a fifth consecutive game Thursday, but she had decent production across the board during the narrow loss. The 26-year-old's production took a hit during her sixth professional season, as she averaged 8.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.2 blocks and 2.1 assists in 27.3 minutes per game while starting all 44 regular-season matchups. Although she maintained a starting role over rookie Dominique Malonga throughout the season, Magbegor will be an unrestricted free agent this winter and could seek out other opportunities.

Magbegor had limited output for the Storm late in the regular season, and that continued to begin the first round of the playoffs Sunday. She matched her second-lowest shot volume of the season during the loss and has now totaled just 10 points over her last three appearances. She'll have to attempt to bounce back Tuesday if the Storm hope to avoid elimination.

Magbegor was an asset defensively with three blocks and was pretty active on the glass as well. However, she would've ended with a better fantasy line hadn't she struggled so much from the floor. This has been a negative trend for the veteran forward. She's failed to score in double digits in all but three of her 16 appearances since the beginning of August.

Magbegor was solid in all facets of the game, shooting accurately while also contributing in several other categories. Most importantly, though, she had the three blocks, and she now has at least two swats in five straight games. She is averaging 10.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.3 blocks and 3.0 assists per game across the past four appearances.

Even though Magbegor wasn't the leading scorer for the Storm in this game and didn't really shoot the ball all that well, she still found a way to deliver a solid fantasy line with her two-way contributions. The 13-point haul might not have turned a lot of heads, but it was her best scoring tally since the All-Star break.
