Paces Golden State in win Zandalasini provided 18 points (7-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal across 30 minutes in Tuesday's 77-75 win over the Dream.

Impact Zandalasini went scoreless while starting Sunday's loss to Connecticut and came off the bench Tuesday.

She also tied her season high in points and set a new career best in rebounds.

Impact This was Zandalasini's fourth start of the campaign, but it obviously didn't go to plan. She did average 11.0 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists in her previous two outings, and with Kayla Thornton (knee) out for the season, fantasy managers may want to give her another chance.
