Key Storylines
- The Mystics have a 12-13 record and sit in 8th place in the WNBA. They are holding onto the final spot in the playoffs as of now.
- The Sky are struggling at 7‑18 overall and 3‑10 on the road. It would take a major hot streak for them to get back into the playoff race.
- Chicago continues without Courtney Vandersloot for the rest of the season. Ariel Atkins could also miss this game with a leg injury. But Angel Reese is probable to return after missing Chicago’s last game.
- Washington is without Georgia Amoore for the full season. Aaliyah Edwards has also been ruled out for this game.

Best Player Props to Watch

|---|---|---|
| Brittney Sykes | Over 14.5 points | Sykes dropped 32 in the last head‑to‑head matchup and remains a key scoring option. |
| Angel Reese | Over 11.5 rebounds | Reese leads the league with 12.5 boards per game. If she plays she will pile up the boards again. |

- Washington is seventh in the league in defensive rating. The Sky are 12th in that category as well.
- The Mystics are fifth in the league in pace and the Sky are eighth in pace.
- The matchup to watch in this game is on the interior. Washington has more depth in their frontcourt but will need to find a way to contain Reese on the glass if she plays.

Final Thoughts
Washington is at home and should be able to take advantage of Chicago’s struggles on the road in this game. I am going to lay the points with the Mystics with the expectation that their depth will help them to keep Reese from completely changing this game on the glass. Look for Washington’s superior shooting and overall guard play to help them create separation tonight.
