Game Preview

The Storm (6-18) haven’t had it easy throughout the first half of the season, going though 11 consecutive losses at one point. They have since gone 3-3 in their last six games, recently falling 89-78 to the Atlanta Dream. Natisha Hiedeman led the team with 20 points, five rebounds and three assists. Dominique Malonga followed with 15 points and nine rebounds, while Flau’jae Johnson provided 14 points and five assists.

The Mystics (10-10) have been decent to start the campaign but continue to switch between wins and losses. They are 2-3 in their last five games and 6-4 in their last 10 contests. However, their offense faltered in a recent 62-49 loss to the Golden State Valkyries. Kiki Iriafen led the team with 12 points and nine rebounds, while Shakira Austin contributed with 11 points and 11 rebounds.

Storm vs Mystics Predictions

This game would be a slight tossup given the ups and downs from both teams. The Storm are trying to find any momentum they can get on the winning side of things. However, Washington’s quality seems to have the edge as big performances might be on the way to bounce back from their latest loss. Our betting pick here is for the Mystics to defend a 4.5-point spread.
