Diana Taurasi has dealt with some injuries this season but she is still averaging 16.5 points per game but she is only shooting 38.7 percent from the field.

On the other side of this matchup is the Washington Mystics who are basically playing with a shell roster of last season but they have still tried to be competitive inside the bubble.The Washington Mystics have gone 1-1 in their last two games but even in their last loss they were able to make it to overtime against the Dallas Wings. In overtime of that game they were only able to score four points and that led to the loss. Myisha Hines-Allen was the star of the show in that last game putting up 35 points and 12 rebounds.
