The Washington Mystics and Indiana Fever face off on Sunday in a WNBA showdown at the Entertainement & Sports Center. When these two teams faced off on Friday it was the Mystics that were able to win 82-70.
The Fever comes into this game with a 5-30 record overall, and at this point, they are probably ready for the next season to start. The Fever have been so bad this season and in the last game, they lost by 12, which didn’t feel that bad. The Fever are averaging 77.8 points, while their defense is giving up 88.9 points per game. The offense is ranked 12th in the league, while their defense is ranked 12th in the league. Kelsey Mitchell has been the top player for the Fever, averaging 18.4 points while shooting 43.8 percent from the field and 40.9 percent from behind the three-point line.
On the other side of this matchup is the Washington Mystics who sit with a 21-14 record overall, but they had lost two games in a row before winning the last game against the Indiana Fever. Two games ago against the Los Angeles Sparks they were competitive but were defeated 79-76. The Mystics are averaging 79.8 points, while their defense is giving up 75.7 points per game. The offense is ranked 8th in the league, while their defense is ranked 1st in the league. The Mystics know to find the success they need the defense to be good, and that is going to be the key here.
The Fever only scored 70 points in the last game against the Mystics, and I think they will finish even lower than that here. The Mystics will get over the 82 points they scored in the last game and that is going to be the difference here as Washington gets the job done. Back the Mystics against the spread.
