Washington Mystics (2-3) at Seattle Storm (3-4) — Game Preview
The Washington Mystics roll into Climate Pledge Arena at 2-3, sitting a half-game ahead of a 3-4 Seattle Storm club that has stumbled out of the early gate. The Mystics’ offensive identity is anchored by Sonia Citron, who is putting up 19.2 points per game while shooting an eye-popping 58.0 percent from the floor, the kind of efficiency that rarely follows a high-volume scorer this far into the year.
Across the floor, Natisha Hiedeman has carried the bulk of Seattle’s scoring at 13.7 points per game, and her 87.5 percent stroke from the free-throw line gives the Storm a reliable late-clock option. Kiki Iriafen is the wild card here, hauling in 11.0 rebounds per game with a 3.4 offensive-board number that puts constant pressure on second chances. Seattle counters with a quirky wrinkle in Flau’jae Johnson, a guard who is grabbing 5.1 rebounds per game and giving the Storm an unusual rebounding presence from the backcourt. Both clubs are still searching for footing in the bottom half of the early standings, and a road win for Washington would tilt that gap further in the Mystics’ favor.

Players to Watch: Washington Mystics vs. Seattle Storm
Washington Mystics
Sonia Citron — G. Citron leads the Mystics in scoring at 19.2 points per game, doing it on a remarkably clean 58.0 percent from the field for a player asked to shoulder that kind of volume. She backs it up at the line with an 84.6 percent free-throw mark, giving Washington a closer who can punish help defenders late in the shot clock.
Georgia Amoore — G. Running the Mystics’ backcourt in 23.2 minutes a night, Amoore is dishing 4.6 assists per game against 2.8 turnovers, a workable ratio for a young lead guard still settling into the rotation. Her usage in the half-court sets the pace for everything Citron and Iriafen do off the ball.
Kiki Iriafen — F. Iriafen is averaging 11.0 rebounds per game, and the split tells the real story: 7.6 defensive boards and a hefty 3.4 on the offensive glass. That offensive-rebounding number means Washington routinely steals extra possessions, and Iriafen’s nose for the ball gives the Mystics a second wave the Storm will have to scheme around.
Seattle Storm
Natisha Hiedeman — G. Hiedeman tops the Storm’s scoring chart at 13.7 points per game and shoots a steady 43.2 percent from the floor, but the trustworthy number is 87.5 percent at the line. That free-throw reliability turns her into Seattle’s preferred ball-handler when the game gets choppy down the stretch.
Jade Melbourne — G. With 4.4 assists per game in 24.7 minutes and just 2.1 turnovers, Melbourne is the steadying hand on Seattle’s offense. The two-to-one assist-to-turnover ratio is the kind of disciplined number that keeps possessions clean when the Storm need a reset.
Flau’jae Johnson — G. Johnson is the rare guard pulling in 5.1 rebounds per game, with 4.4 of those coming on the defensive end. Backcourt rebounding at that clip closes out possessions before the help arrives, and it gives Seattle a transition outlet without waiting on a big to track the ball down.
