Impact Cloud turned in an efficient performance from inside the arc and got to the charity stripe often en route to a game-high 18 points. The veteran guard also finished second on the Sky in rebounds and assists. Additionally, she was productive on the defensive end, as she matched her season high in steals and set a new season-best mark in blocks.

Contributes six points off bench Cloud closed with six points (2-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one block across 27 minutes during Sunday's 85-68 loss to the Tempo.

Impact Cloud had some difficulties shooting, but she still managed to hit a three-pointer while filling the stat sheet with a handful of rebounds, assists and one block, while tying a team best with 27 minutes despite coming off the bench. Her point totals have been a bit erratic, but she remains a consistent contributor in assists and rebounds, while also being a decent source of steals and an occasional block.

Plays well off bench in win Cloud finished with 13 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five assists and two steals across 26 minutes in Friday's 85-80 victory over the Sun.

Impact Cloud was bumped from the starting lineup. However, she still logged more minutes than Rachel Banham, who was with the first five Friday night.

Not starting Friday Cloud is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game versus the Sun.

Impact Cloud has been struggling the past few games, scoring a total of six points on 1-for-11 shooting, so maybe a move to the second unit will get her going again. Rachel Banham will replace Cloud in the first unit for Friday's game, but it's currently unclear if this is a matchup-based move or a long-term change.

Shooting woes in blowout loss Cloud chipped in six points (1-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block across 31 minutes in Friday's 79-58 loss to Minnesota.

Impact After scoring 18 points on 7-of-8 shooting from the field in Wednesday's loss to Toronto, Cloud struggled mightily on the offensive end Friday. The veteran guard scored in single digits for the second time over the last three games and for the fourth time through seven regular-season appearances. However, she still supplied a season-high three combined steals-plus-blocks, finishing with multiple steals for the second time on the campaign.

Will play Friday Cloud (illness) is available for Friday's game against Minnesota.

Impact Cloud is available to play through an illness Friday and should be able to handle her normal workload, barring any setbacks. She's started four consecutive games for the Sky, averaging 14.0 points, 5.5 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 0.8 steals in 32.6 minutes per contest during that stretch, and Cloud should see more usage in the absence of Gabriela Jaquez (knee).

Impact Cloud has started in each of the Sky's last four games and has been productive, scoring in double digits three times but also thriving as a playmaker. She has dished out at least five assists in four of her last five appearances as well, and that ability to make an impact in multiple areas makes her a reliable fantasy option in most formats, especially now that she has moved to the starting unit. In four starts, Cloud is averaging 14.0 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game.
