WNBA All-Star Weekend is rolling in Chicago, and guess who’s repping the Emerald City on the big stage? Our very own Natisha Hiedeman is suiting up for the 3-Point Contest tonight at Wintrust Arena, even though the oddsmakers in Vegas are totally sleeping on her. They’ve slapped her with +900 odds to win, making her a serious underdog in a field loaded with sharpshooters.
The Windy City Showdown
The league’s top long-range threats are all assembled for this year’s 3-Point Contest in the Windy City, showcasing their stellar abilities from beyond the arc. Six players are battling it out, following the standard format we all know: five locations around the arc, each with four regular balls worth one point and one “money” ball worth two points. Plus, there’s that special rack with five money balls and two shots from an incredible distance, worth three points each. The competition is stacked with Bridget Carleton, 2026 No. 1 overall pick Azzi Fudd, Rhyne Howard, Marina Mabrey, and Janelle Salaun all looking to walk away with the contest crown.
They’re Seriously Doubting Our Sharpshooter
You won’t believe these DraftKings odds for tonight’s event. Azzi Fudd is the favorite at +260, Marina Mabrey is right there at +280, and Janelle Salaun is +450. Even Rhyne Howard and Bridget Carleton are sitting at +550. But our Storm guard, Natisha Hiedeman? They’ve got her way down at +900! It’s wild, considering what she can do when she gets loose. She’s been getting shots up, warming up, and even streaming live on Twitch with Courtney Williams. She’s ready.
We’re all locked in, waiting to see if our Storm superstar defies the odds and brings that trophy back to Seattle. Natisha has got the shot, and she’s got the fight. Let’s GO, T, show them what that +900 really means!
