Continue reading for our WNBA betting picks for Mystics vs Sun.
This game will be played at 7:00 PM ET at Mohegan Sun Arena on Tuesday, June 4, 2024.
Washington Mystics
The Washington Mystics have had a nightmarish start to the 2024 WNBA season. They are 0-8 on the year, making them the last team in the league without a win to their name. They will look to change that in Tuesday’s Mystics vs Sun matchup from Connecticut, though the Mystics will have to overcome some major injury adversity in order to do so.
Washington is going to be without both Brittney Sykes and Shakira Austin for this game at Mohegan Sun Arena. Austin is the best post player on the roster for the Mystics, while Sykes is by far their best guard on the offensive end of the floor. Without either of those players available, Washington may have a hard time keeping up with Connecticut despite hanging around against them in their first meeting earlier in the year.
Connecticut Sun
There is one undefeated team left in the WNBA this season and it is the Connecticut Sun. Stephanie White’s team is 8-0 on the season so far and number one in the WNBA in defensive rating and net rating. Here, they will look to grab a ninth win in a row and remain ahead of the pack in the league standings for the year.
Connecticut did play a tight game against the Mystics earlier in the season, needing a huge fourth quarter to come back and win. But Austin played in that game for Washington, while the Sun shot just 2/20 from three-point range. Any sort of respectable shooting night, combined with the absence of Austin for Washington, should mean a bigger margin of victory for the Sun in this rematch.
