Seattle Storm (5-15) at Phoenix Mercury (7-13) — Game Preview
The Seattle Storm bring a 5-15 record into Mortgage Matchup Center on Thursday night, where the Phoenix Mercury sit at 7-13 and looking to extend an already slim margin of comfort. Kahleah Copper carries the Mercury’s offensive load at 20.1 points per game, doing much of her work at the line — she converts 82.1 percent of her free throws — while shooting 39.5 percent from the field overall. Natisha Hiedeman runs the Storm offense at 15.6 points and 4.7 assists per game across 28.6 minutes, and her 88.9 percent free-throw rate makes her a difficult player to foul late. Flau’jae Johnson provides a secondary rebounding dimension for Seattle, averaging 5.5 boards per game — an unusual production rate for a guard that gives the Storm extra possessions on the defensive end. The Mercury’s playmaking belongs to Alyssa Thomas, who leads the team with 8.4 assists per game in 33.7 minutes — though her 3.9 turnovers per game remain a recurring challenge for Phoenix’s ball security when the pace picks up.

Players to Watch: Seattle Storm vs. Phoenix Mercury
Seattle Storm
Natisha Hiedeman — G. Hiedeman is the engine of the Storm offense, logging 28.6 minutes per game and producing 15.6 points and 4.7 assists per game on 44.9 percent shooting. The free-throw line is where she separates herself from most guards at this level, converting 88.9 percent — which makes her a dangerous ball-handler in closing situations. Her 2.2 turnovers per game are manageable given the volume of responsibility she carries.
Flau’jae Johnson — G. Johnson brings a rebounding impact unusual for her position, averaging 5.5 rebounds per game — 4.5 on the defensive end and 1.0 on the offensive glass. That defensive rebounding rate, for a guard, gives Seattle an extra body cleaning up the backboard in a game where every possession carries weight given the Storm’s record.
Phoenix Mercury
Kahleah Copper — G. Copper leads the Mercury with 20.1 points per game and shoulders the team’s primary scoring responsibility night after night. Her field-goal percentage sits at 39.5 percent, which reflects how often she creates her own shot in difficult circumstances, and she backs it up at the line where she shoots 82.1 percent. Phoenix’s ability to stay competitive in close games runs through her.
Alyssa Thomas — F. Thomas is operating as one of the more demanding playmakers in the league this season, averaging 8.4 assists per game in 33.7 minutes. That distribution rate sets the tempo for everything Phoenix runs offensively. The trade-off is 3.9 turnovers per game, a number that can swing results against a defense motivated to push tempo the other way.
