Players to Watch: Indiana Fever vs. Phoenix Mercury
Indiana Fever
Kelsey Mitchell — G. Kelsey Mitchell has been Indiana’s offensive engine all season, averaging 22.2 points per game on 48.9 percent shooting from the field. She’s automatic at the line too, hitting 84.6 percent of her free throws, and that combination has made her the focal point of the Fever’s attack whenever Indiana needs a bucket.
Tyasha Harris — G. Behind Mitchell in the backcourt, Tyasha Harris runs the second unit for Indiana and does it efficiently, posting a 2.8 assist-to-turnover ratio that ranks among the better marks on the roster. She’s averaging 1.9 assists and 3.4 points across 13.8 minutes a night, a modest role but one she handles with a steady hand.
Monique Billings — F. 5.5 rebounds a game make Monique Billings the Fever’s most productive board-crasher off the bench, and she splits that work fairly evenly between the offensive and defensive glass. She’s chipping in 6.6 points a night as well, giving Indiana’s frontcourt rotation some scoring punch alongside the rebounding.
Phoenix Mercury
Kahleah Copper — G. As Phoenix’s leading scorer, Kahleah Copper is putting up 20.8 points per game despite a cooler 41.0 percent mark from the field this season. She still gets to the free-throw line and cashes in at an 80.3 percent clip, which keeps her scoring total afloat even on nights when her jumper isn’t falling.
Monique Akoa Makani — G. Monique Akoa Makani has taken over as Phoenix’s primary ball-handler, averaging 2.6 assists and 9.5 points per game while logging 23.8 minutes a night. Her 1.5 assist-to-turnover ratio reflects a guard still building consistency running the offense, but her scoring punch off the dribble has made her a fixture in the Mercury’s rotation.
DeWanna Bonner — F. DeWanna Bonner remains a steady frontcourt presence for Phoenix, averaging 5.1 rebounds and 9.0 points per game across 26.5 minutes a night. She’s also a reliable threat from the line, converting 90.5 percent of her free throws, a number that stands out for a player asked to do most of her work in the paint.
