Mystics Are Awful

The Mystics have really struggled this season and they come into this game with a 5-16 record overall. In the last game against the Las Vegas Aces, the offense scored 77 points but the defense gave up 98 points and that led to the 21 point defeat. It was an awful second and third quarter that really let them down. Ariel Atkins was the top player for the Mystics putting up 18 points, three rebounds, and one assist. The Mystics are averaging 79.2 points while their defense is giving up 83.5 points per game. The offense is ranked 10th in the league while the defense is ranked 8th in the league. Atkins is averaging 14.5 points while shooting 40.6 percent from the field and 32.4 percent from behind the three point line. 

Lynx Could be In Trouble

The Lynx are coming off a loss against the Connecticut Sun in the last game and they might have suffered a bad injury loss. Naphessa Collier has been the top player for the Lynx but she suffered a foot injury and it’s unclear how serious the injury is at this point. Against the Sun, the Lynx ended up losing 78-73. Alanna Smith was the top player putting up 14 points, four rebounds, and two assists. The Lynx are averaging 82.5 points while their defense is giving up 74.6 points per game. The offense is ranked 5th in the league while the defense is ranked 2nd in the league. Collier has been the top player for the Lynx averaging 20 points while shooting 46.8 percent from the field. 

Washington Mystics vs Minnesota Lynx Prediction

The injury to Collier is a major concern and even if she somehow did play, it’s hard to imagine that she’s going to be 100 percent. The Lynx defense might be good again but their offense isn’t going to run away with it here. The Mystics are averaging 79.2 points per game and they are going to score enough to keep this game close. Washington is going to find success here. Back the Mystics against the spread here.
