Fever vs Mystics WNBA Pick: Indiana Faces Life Without Clark (May 28)

• Indiana lost to the Liberty, 90-88, in a devastating defeat for many reasons.
• The Mystics came up just short in Phoenix, taking their third loss in a row.
• These teams last met on Sept. 19, 2024, in a game that Washington won 92-91.

The 2025 WNBA season is underway with some great matchups taking place. In our Fever vs Mystics WNBA pick, Washington will aim to end their losing skid against the banged-up Fever.

Fever to Lose Clark for 2+ Weeks

Indiana received a devastating blow on Saturday. During their 90-88 loss to the Liberty, star player Caitlin Clark suffered a quad strain. With Clark now expected to miss at least two weeks of action, the Fever will need to find a way to stay afloat without her. Much of that weight will fall on the shoulders of Aliyah Boston, who becomes the leading weapon with Clark now out.

Mystics Hope to Get Back on Track

After a surprising 2-0 start to the season, Washington has come back down to the level of their expectations entering this season. Three straight losses was a wakeup call for a team led by a pair of rookies. Even still, with 8 of 13 teams making the playoffs, the Mystics are still in decent shape. As Iriafen and Citron continue to get even better, Washington should stay in contention.

Indiana Fever vs Washington Mystics WNBA Pick

This will be the first look at how competitive the Fever can be without Caitlin Clark. It’s a good test to see where they’ll stand for the next month. At the same time, it’s also a good test for a Mystics team that is trying to get back on track. Washington will have a slight advantage at home, but their recent struggles are concerning. I see Indiana winning it, even without Clark.
