WNBA team rankings: offense and defense
PickFinder Team•Updated:
The Indiana Fever lead WNBA teams in points at 95.5 per game in 2026. The Golden State Valkyries allow the fewest (75.2) and the Toronto Tempo allow the most (94.4).
The biggest mismatch on points: the Indiana Fever (1st in points, 95.5 per game) against the Toronto Tempo (15th allowed, 94.4 per game). These are 2026 numbers through about 46 games per team.
Green always means more of the stat, red means less. So a green defense is a soft one, and a green offense is a productive one. These are team totals per game.

A team edge goes to whoever takes the volume. The defense vs position table shows which position gets it, and the app shows each player's hit rate against today's line.
How this is counted
Team totals per game for 2026: every player's stat on the team, added up per game, for the team's own players (offense) and for the players it faced (defense). Offense ranks 1st for the most, defense ranks 1st for the least, with ties sharing a rank. Mismatches take, for each of the first four stats, the three most productive offenses against the three softest defenses and show how far each side sits from the league average, averaged. Computed each morning from every box score of the season, preseason excluded, and refreshed here by 8:40 AM ET.
