Tip-off is set for 3:00 p.m. ET at the Entertainment & Sports Arena in Washington, D.C. The Mystics (3–6) host the Sun (2–6), with Washington favored by about 5.5 points and the total set at 160.5

• The Sun has struggled offensively and defensively, yet picked up a surprising win over Atlanta at home, 84–76.
• The Mystics have split their home games 2–2, they enter this matchup with recent wins and playoff aspirations.
• Washington holds momentum, beating the Sun in their only other early-season matchup.

Connecticut Sun Player Prop Pick: Tina Charles

The Sun have endured a rough start, squeezed by injuries and a lineup in flux since trading Alyssa Thomas. Despite their struggles, they’ve remained competitive at home and recently edged a playoff-contending Atlanta team. Veteran Tina Charles offers interior stability, yet offensive lack of spacing and depth continue to hamper their ceiling.

• Frontcourt Relief: With Connecticut lacking interior depth, Charles is seeing increased rebounding responsibility.
• Mismatch Potential: Mystics’ non-elite rebounding gives Charles plenty of second-chance opportunities.
• Veteran Instinct: Charles continues to hunt and secure boards even during extended minutes.

Washington Mystics Player Prop Pick: Brittney Sykes

The Mystics are building momentum, boosted by rookie Kiki Iriafen’s emergence—a Rookie of the Month candidate who’s been averaging a double‑double. They’re also receiving strong contributions from Brittney Sykes (19.6 PPG, 4.5 APG) and benefit from home-court advantage. Their scoring has been up, but defensive lapses still surface.

• Offensive Engine: Sykes is Washington’s primary scorer, averaging 19.6 PPG and hitting the free-throw line frequently.
• Volume Play: She takes on more scoring load amid team inconsistencies on offense.
• Home Confidence: Boosted by a supportive home crowd, Sykes steps up in primetime slots.
