Mystics vs Wings Betting Pick
This game will be played at College Park Center at 8:00 PM ET on Thursday, July 28, 2022.
In the WNBA, the Washington Mystics have more or less solidified their place in the 2022 playoffs. The Dallas Wings, on the other hand, still have some work to do to accomplish the same. On Thursday, they will face off in Texas with a lot on the line in terms of playoff positioning. In our WNBA picks, we look at Mystics vs Wings in an important inter-conference clash.
Why Bet The Wings:
✅ The Mystics are likely to be without Elena Delle Donne for this game. Coach Mike Thibault said that Delle Donne is unlikely to even travel with the team for this game. Instead, they are going to rest her so she can play a back to back against the Seattle Storm coming up. That is huge for the Wings, as Washington is 3-6 without Delle Donne on the season.
✅ Despite the status of the Mystics as a top-five team in the WNBA, they have not been all that good on the road. They are just 8-7 away from home this season, with that number looking considerably worse when Delle Donne is not on the floor. That will help the Wings, even if they have a losing record at home on the season.

✅ You may hear a lot about how the Mystics beat the Wings convincingly in Dallas earlier in the season. But some context is required from that game when applying it to this one. Delle Donne played in that game and scored 14 points. Also, Shakira Austin went 9/11 from the field off the bench. Delle Donne will miss this game, and Austin is unlikely to have a performance like that again.
Washington Mystics
So far this season, the Washington Mystics sit in fifth place in the WNBA standings. They are a full 4.5 games ahead of the sixth place LA Sparks. But they have some ground to make up if they want to finish in the top four. Here, the Mystics will look for a second win over the Dallas Wings. But they will have to overcome the absence of their top star in order to do so.
Without Elena Delle Donne in the lineup for Washington, the Mystics’ ability to score in the paint will be compromised on Thursday night. This could result in them relying more heavily on outside shooters like Ariel Atkins and Natasha Cloud to lead the scoring charge. Whether that strategy will work against a team with shooters like those on the Wings will be intriguing to see.
Dallas Wings
In their last game, the Dallas Wings demolished the Indiana Fever in the second half on the road. That second half helped them pull away and win in Indiana to keep the Wings in the top-eight in the standings. Here, the Wings will face a much tougher test from the Mystics. But the absence of Elena Delle Donne can only help the Wings in this important matchup.
Without Delle Donne out there, the Wings can play one on one with Teaira McCowan or Isabelle Harrison against Shakira Austin. McCowan has seen a greater share of the minutes of late with Satou Sabally and Awak Kuier both dealing with injuries. Her physicality could be just what the Wings need to win games like this against title contenders to help them reach the playoffs.
