The Washington Mystics and Atlanta Dream face off on Friday in a WNBA basketball showdown at the Entertainment & Sports Arena. These two teams have faced off twice so far this season, and each team came away with one of the victories. 

The Washington Mystics come into this game with a 10-18 record overall which puts them in 4th place in the Eastern Conference. The Mystics are really struggling coming into this game having lost three games in a row. In the last game against the Seattle Storm, the defense really struggled giving up 105 points and in this game, the defense is going to need to be a whole lot better. On the season the Washington Mystics are averaging 79.8 points per game while their defense is giving up 84.2 points per game. The best player for Washington is Tina Charles and she is averaging 23.9 points per game. 

On the other side of this matchup is the Atlanta Dream who sit with a 7-21 record overall which puts them in 5th place in the Eastern Conference. The last couple of months the Atlanta Dream have really struggled but in the last game, they were at least competitive. The Dream were up by six points heading into the 4th quarter against the Phoenix Mercury but the offense struggled scoring 14 points and that led to the defeat. The Atlanta Dream on the season are averaging 79.5 points per game while their defense is giving up 85 points per game. Courtney Williams has been the best player for Atlanta averaging 16.4 points while shooting 41 percent from the field. 

I expect the Mystics are going to get another big game from Charles, and that will lead to plenty of scoring. Look for Atlanta to also attack Washington’s defense that is giving up 84.2 points per game. Look for this game to be a shootout and for the over to cash.
