Our starting line-up this week consists of some very familiar faces, with a full quota of WBBL returnees and favourites from 2016-17.

Dee Hayward (Leicester Riders)
The Scottish guard produced one of her best showings so far this season with a terrific shooting effort on the road at Oaklands. She tore down the Wolves with 17 points, which were sunk via a sweet 7 of 11 from the field, with Hayward also snapping up 3 boards.

Alison Gorrell (Team Northumbria)
Gorrell played the major hand in Team Northumbria taking a terrific overtime victory against defending champions, Nottingham Wildcats. The guard was on fire and racked up 27 points and completed a double-double with 10 rebounds, while handing out 4 assists too.

Jamila Thompson (Leicester Riders)
The Great Britain forward proved too tough to handle for the home defence as Wolves struggled to match her athleticism. Thompson sealed her third appearance of the campaign in our line-up with a stellar double-double of 18 points and 11 rebounds, also adding 4 steals and 2 blocks.

Dominique Allen (Manchester Mystics)
Even if she didn’t have her best night offensively and just missed out on a double-double after contributing 9 points, it was still a pivotal contribution from Allen in the win against BA London Lions. She smashed it on the glass and pulled down a monstrous 16 boards as well as 3 steals.

Tricia Oakes (Caledonia Pride)
Caledonia Pride completed a successful border raid as they claimed a first road win of the season in the league by outlasting Durham. It was the towering frame of Oakes that did the bulk of the damage, as she corralled 15 points from 7 of 9 shooting and added 8 boards and 2 steals.

Off the bench – Christina Schnorr (Cardiff Met Archers), Cat Carr (Sevenoaks Suns), Noelia Qunitas (Durham Palatinates), Chantelle Handy (Team Northumbria), Rachel Morris (Oaklands Wolves), Ashley Harris (Nottingham Wildcats), Kara Bonenberger (Team Northumbria)
