Las Vegas Looking To Make It Three In A Row

After dropping three straight contests, the Aces enter this matchup amid a two-game winning streak. This includes a dominant 85-59 victory against the Connecticut Sun on Wednesday.

A’ja Wilson was solid at both ends of the floor. She scored 22 points on 50 percent shooting and went 6-for-7 from the charity stripe. The reigning MVP also had eight boards, four steals, and three blocks. Jackie Young added 20 points, eight rebounds, and shot 3-for-7 from beyond the arc.

The Aces led 40-29 at the break and outscored Connecticut 45-30 in the second half en route to an easy victory. Connecticut shot 32.4 percent and converted only two of their 13 attempts from 3-point range.

Mystics Seek First Three-Game Winning Streak Of The Season

Washington suffered an embarrassing 89-56 loss to the Atlanta Dream on Jun. 15. Since that hiccup, though, the Mystics have produced three wins in their last four contests. This includes a 68-64 victory against the Minnesota Lynx on Tuesday.

Shakira Austin led the Mystics with 19 points, eight rebounds, three assists, and two steals. Sug Sutton added 12 points, four assists, and four rebounds for a Washington squad that shot 37 percent from the floor.

Washington trailed 64-62 late in the fourth quarter before Austin’s basket knotted the game at 64 apiece. Following a timeout, Minnesota committed a turnover on the ensuing inbounds pass, resulting in the winning basket for the host team.

A pair of free throws from Sonia Citron with 6.4 seconds remaining secured the win for the Mystics, even though they went more than five minutes without a field goal.

Aces vs Mystics WNBA Pick

Neither team plays at an elite level on both ends of the court. Las Vegas is ranked ninth in both offensive and defensive efficiency. On the other side, Washington is ranked 11th in scoring and ninth in points allowed, giving up 79.9 points per game.

In recent matchups, the Aces have dominated, winning the three-game set last season, as well as a 75-72 victory when these ball clubs squared off in late May.

Given that trend, the Aces will emerge victorious, but don’t be overly shocked if the Mystics cover the 8.5-point spread.
