Connecticut Sun (0-5) at Seattle Storm (1-3) — Game Preview
The Connecticut Sun arrive at Climate Pledge Arena still searching for a first win at 0-5, while the Seattle Storm sit at 1-3 through their opening four games. Both teams sit at the same scoring rate (80.4 for the Sun, 80.0 for the Storm), so the separation is likely to show up elsewhere on the floor. Connecticut is averaging 20.4 assists per game to Seattle’s 16.3, a four-assist gap that points to a Sun offense still finding good looks even when the shots are not falling.
Aneesah Morrow has carried the visitors on the glass at 11.0 rebounds per game alongside 14.0 points, the kind of double-double pace that should pay off as the season turns. Saniya Rivers gives Connecticut additional creation at 5.2 assists per game across 26.4 minutes, holding turnovers to 2.0 a night. For Seattle, Jade Melbourne runs the offense at 4.5 assists per game with just 1.8 turnovers across 24.5 minutes, a tight ratio for a team trying to settle a rotation thinned by injuries. The rebound battle figures to tilt the result, with the Sun’s 33.2 boards a game edging Seattle’s 31.3.

Players to Watch: Connecticut Sun vs. Seattle Storm
Connecticut Sun
Aneesah Morrow — F. Morrow is doing two jobs at once for the Sun, putting up 14.0 points and 11.0 rebounds per game with an 8.0 defensive to 3.0 offensive board split. Her 40.3% from the field sits a tick below Connecticut’s 41.1% team rate, but the rebounding lift keeps her among the most productive frontcourt players on tonight’s slate.
Brittney Griner — C. Griner brings veteran scoring weight at 15.0 points and 5.7 rebounds per game on 52.9% from the floor across 27.3 minutes a night, the most efficient volume scorer in the Sun rotation. With Connecticut shooting 41.1% as a team, her interior accuracy lifts the average rather than dragging it.
Saniya Rivers — G. The Sun’s lead guard creates at 5.2 assists per game in 26.4 minutes, holding turnovers to 2.0 a night for a clean ratio at the position. Her playmaking pairs with Morrow and Griner to give Connecticut a defined three-headed core through the opening stretch.
Seattle Storm
Jade Melbourne — G. Melbourne directs the Seattle offense at 4.5 assists per game with just 1.8 turnovers across 24.5 minutes, the cleanest assist-to-turnover line in the Storm rotation. With Seattle’s team mark sitting at 16.3 assists per game, her steady distribution carries an outsized share of the load.
Natisha Hiedeman — G. Hiedeman is Seattle’s most efficient guard scoring source at 10.3 points per game on 39.0% from the field across 25.3 minutes, with a 3.3 assist average that gives the Storm a second ball-handler alongside Melbourne. Her 71.4% from the foul line is steady, if not eye-catching, for a rotation guard.
Stefanie Dolson — C. Dolson anchors the Storm interior at 8.5 points and 4.3 rebounds per game on a clean 60.0% from the field, with 87.5% from the foul line for added value. Her efficiency stands out against Seattle’s 41.5% team mark, marking her as the most reliable scoring option per touch.
