Natisha Hiedeman during a game against the Valkyries.<\/p>\n<p>Losing streaks are put to the test on Saturday as the 3-13 Phoenix Mercury host the 4-12 Seattle Storm.<\/p>\n<p>Seattle has played competitive basketball as of late, and my Storm vs. Mercury predictions call for Natisha Hiedeman and Dominique Malonga to guide their team to its first victory in nearly a month.<\/p>\n<p>Read on in my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.covers.com\/picks\/wnba\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">WNBA picks<\/a> to see how I\u2019m building a +625 SGP with scoring props for Hiedeman and Malonga and a +230 ML wager.<\/p>\n<p>Storm vs Mercury prediction<br \/>\nStorm vs Mercury best bet: Natisha Hiedeman Over 13.5 points (-140)<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll happily go back to the well for Natisha Hiedeman as long as her scoring prop remains this low. She&#8217;s gone for 14+ in six straight while averaging 17.8. She\u2019s reached that mark in 10 of 16 games on the season and leads her team in field goal attempts and 3-point attempts.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.covers.com\/sport\/basketball\/wnba\/teams\/main\/phoenix-mercury\/odds\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Phoenix Mercury<\/a> sport the 11th-ranked defensive rating, and across their last three games, they\u2019ve surrendered the third-most points to opponents at 94.<\/p>\n<p>At 13.5 points, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.covers.com\/sport\/basketball\/wnba\/odds\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">WNBA odds<\/a> on Hiedeman\u2019s scoring line should be priced closer to -160. Getting this one at -140 is a great value.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=covers.com\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"googleLink border-0 bg-lighter rounded-2 py-2 px-3 d-flex gap-2 justify-content-between align-items-center mb-5\" data-linkcont=\"Article-Google-Preferences-Click\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Enjoying Covers content?

Her 29.9 usage rate is fourth in the W. She finished with a career-best 28 points in her last game, and this prop is playable to 16.5 as Malonga shines in a favorable matchup.<\/p>\n<p>Seattle\u2019s league-worst offensive rating improved 10.1 points across the last four games, and Phoenix\u2019s net rating crashed 7.6 points over that span. I expect an improving Storm team to get over the hump, so I\u2019ll take the +230 moneyline wager and leave the points behind.<\/p>\n<p>Storm vs Mercury SGP<\/p>\n<p>Natisha Heideman Over 13.5 points<br \/>\nDominique Malonga Over 15.5 points<br \/>\nStorm moneyline<\/p>\n<p>Zak Hanshew&#8217;s 2026 Transparency Record<\/p>\n<p>Best bet: 13-10, +1.87 units<br \/>\nSGP: 4-19, +2.40 units<\/p>\n<p>Storm vs Mercury odds<\/p>\n<p>Spread: Storm +7.5 | Mercury -7.5<br \/>\nMoneyline: Storm +230 | Mercury -280<br \/>\nOver\/Under: Over 162.5 | Under 162.5<\/p>\n<p>Storm vs Mercury trend<\/p>\n<p>The Storm are 3-1 ATS in their last four games.
