Notches six points Westbeld recorded six points (2-2 FG, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 17 minutes during Thursday's 98-89 loss to the Wings.

Impact Westbeld continues to see minutes in the teens most nights, but she's still doing enough to warrant attention in deeper fantasy formats. Through 18 games this season, she's seeing 22.2 minutes per night with 6.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.9 blocks per game.

Continues to play diminished role Westbeld logged six points (2-4 FG, 2-4 3Pt), one rebound, one assist, one steal and one block in 18 minutes during Sunday's 84-81 loss to the Aces.

Impact Westbeld supplied a full stat line, but her role has become diminished with Alyssa Thomas and Kahleah Copper both healthy. Westbeld has started her last six games but has averaged 4.7 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.2 assists in 18.4 minutes per contest during this period.

Quiet in 15 minutes Westbeld supplied four points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and three steals over 15 minutes during Thursday's 89-81 victory over the Liberty.

Impact Westbeld's fantasy appeal for the Mercury continues to be very limited. Through 14 appearances, Westbeld holds averages of 6.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.1 blocks in 23.3 minutes.

Muted role in season-low 15 minutes Westbeld ended with one point (0-3 FG, 1-2 FT, 0-3 3Pt), one rebound and one steal in 15 minutes during Sunday's 76-70 win over the Aces.

Impact With Alyssa Thomas and Kahleah Copper both healthy for the first time this season, Westbeld logged her fewest minutes of the year. Copper played 18 minutes in her season debut after missing the first 11 games of the season due to a knee injury, so her workload will likely gradually increase as she becomes further removed from the issue. Westbeld did remain in the starting lineup Sunday, but it appears as though her usage is set to take a considerable hit after she posted season lows in points and field-goal attempts.

Impact Westbeld made her WNBA regular-season debut and provided a solid stat line in the Mercury's blowout victory.

Will start vs. Seattle Westbeld is in the starting lineup for Saturday's season opener against the Storm, freelance Mercury writer Jeff Metcalfe reports.

Impact Westbeld will finally make her WNBA regular-season debut in this campaign opener, though it's worth noting she'll only do it due to the Mercury having lots of absences. Westbeld will be joined by Monique Akoa-Makani, Sami Whitcomb, Alyssa Thomas and Satou Sabally in the first unit.

Goes for 14 points off bench Westbeld scored 14 points (6-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt) while adding three rebounds and a steal across 16 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's 85-84 preseason loss to the Aces.

Impact Westbeld has yet to make her WNBA debut despite signing as an undrafted free agent out of the 2018 draft. Even if she stays with the team, and Tuesday's outing certainly boosted her chances to do so, her fantasy impact will likely be minimal.
