Seattle Storm (6-20) at Indiana Fever (14-10) — Game Preview
The Seattle Storm head to Gainbridge Fieldhouse carrying a 6-20 record while the Indiana Fever sit at 14-10 and hold the top spot in the Eastern Conference. Indiana’s offense has been the separator all season, averaging 93.2 points per game against Seattle’s 80.4, and that gap shows up in nearly every quarter this matchup has produced.
Kelsey Mitchell fuels the Fever attack, putting up 22.6 points per game on 48.6% shooting from the floor while knocking down 86.8% of her free throws. Natisha Hiedeman carries a heavier two-way load for Seattle, averaging 15.8 points and 4.3 assists a night while shooting 45.7% from the field and 90.5% at the line. Center Dominique Malonga anchors Seattle’s interior presence, averaging 15.5 points and 8.2 rebounds per game, while Flau’jae Johnson adds 13.1 points and 5.4 rebounds per contest.
Seattle sits 13.5 games behind the Western Conference leader, a number that captures just how much ground the rebuild still has to make up. Indiana, by contrast, brings its conference-best record into a home matchup it should be favored to control.
