Mystics @ Dream

Who will WIN this matchup?

Washington Mystics (6-3)

@ Atlanta Dream (2-6)

 

Current odds:

Washington Mystics: (-500)

Atlanta Dream: (+375)

 

• The line for the game is Washington by 9 points.

• Washington’s losses this season have come to current WNBA leader Connecticut (twice) and defending champion Seattle. The Mystics (6-3) have been impressive in winning the first two legs of their four-game trek and are coming off a 95-72 thrashing of a Las Vegas Aces team many pegged as a potential title contender on Thursday night.

• Elena Delle Donne ranks eighth in the league in scoring (15.9) and fifth in rebounds (8.9). The Mystics — who opened this road trip with an 81-52 rout of the Los Angeles Sparks on Tuesday night — are averaging a WNBA-best 85.6 points while hitting a league-high 9.1 3-pointers per game.

• Atlanta (2-6) was thwarted in its bid to win back-to-back games for the first time this year following its 86-76 loss at Connecticut on Friday night. Jessica Breland had 17 points and eight rebounds and Brittney Sykes scored 18 points off the bench for the Dream, who are also missing a key player due to EuroBasket commitments as Alex Bentley plays for Belarus.

• They are also without star Angel McCoughtry, who continues to recover from a torn ACL. Her absence has hindered an offense that ranks ahead of only Dallas in scoring (71.3 ppg), overall shooting (38.0) and 3-point shooting (28.8).
