Key Storylines
The Mystics are 16-18 and have won two straight games going into this contest. Washington is a half-game out of the final playoff spot in the WNBA despite being trade deadline sellers. A win here could put them into the top eight by the end of the night depending on how other games go around the league.
The Sun enter this game off a loss in overtime to the Indiana Fever. Marina Mabrey dropped 27 points and Tina Charles added 21 in a losing effort. Connecticut is 1-15 on the road this season and they are underdogs away from Mohegan Sun Arena once again in this contest.

Score Projection: Washington 88 – Connecticut 76
Win Probability: Mystics 70%, Sun 30%
Final Thoughts
I will continue to give the Mystics credit for being as tough as they have been of late. Their front office made it clear that their priority was not making the playoffs right now. But they have managed to stay competitive in the race for the top eight.
In this game, I think the Mystics will continue to keep the pressure on the teams above them in the standings. Washington should be able to win this game and cover the spread over a hapless Sun team. If the Storm lose to the Sky on Tuesday night, those two results could put Washington into a playoff position.
