Jewell Lloyd was the best player for the Seattle Storm during their matchup against the Phoenix Mercury by scoring 32 points, four rebounds, four assists and three triples.
Ezi Magbegor also had an impressive performance, dropping 19 points, seven boards and four assists. Both Lloyd and Mabegor should help carry the Storm but they will likely need more in order to beat the Connecticut Sun.
Seattle's Gabby Williams and Sami Whitcomb must step up in order to keep the game in striking position.
For the Connecticut Sun, Tiffany Hayes was the team's best player against the Indiana Fever recently, finishing with 18 points, four rebounds and three assists.
