Current odds:

• The line for this game is Wings by 1.5 points.

• Elena Delle Donne and the Washington Mystics should be well rested on Thursday when the team returns from a week off in the schedule to visit the Dallas Wings in Arlington, Texas.

• Delle Donne scored 25 points last Thursday afternoon to help Washington record a 78-69 victory over the New York Liberty. The two-time WNBA MVP has averaged 23.4 points and shot 56.8 percent from the floor (42-for-74) over her past five games.

• The Mystics (17-11) have won six of their past eight contests and entered Wednesday one game behind the fourth-place Seattle Storm in the WNBA standings with eight games remaining on their schedule. The top four seeds will have home-court advantage for their best-of-three first-round series.

• Delle Donne poured in 20 points in Washington’s 94-86 setback to Dallas on May 13 and 14 more in the Mystics’ 84-68 victory over the Wings four nights later. Rookie Shakira Austin, the No. 3 overall pick in the 2022 draft, scored a season-high 20 points on 9-of-11 shooting from the floor in the latter contest.

• Dallas (12-15) posted just its third win in its past nine games with a 96-86 victory over the reeling Indiana Fever on Sunday.

• Arike Ogunbowale scored 16 of her 22 points in the second half and Teaira McCowan had 17 points and seven rebounds against her former team.

• Ogunbowale erupted for 27 points in the first meeting with Washington, while Marina Mabrey had 16 in the setback to the Mystics.
