Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the WNBA match.
The Washington Mystics continue their efforts to achieve a positive win-loss record, which would all but guarantee a playoff berth. Currently sitting at 8-10, their upcoming fixture against the out-of-form Chicago Sky squad provides an ideal chance to improve that standing.
Washington Mystics
The Washington Mystics have been steadily building momentum. They have won three of their last five games, including impressive results against the consistent Las Vegas Aces (94:83) and the Western Conference-leading Minnesota Lynx (68:64). Additionally, Sug Sutton has returned to the rotation and is averaging 14 points and 3.8 assists across her last four appearances. Her return is expected to significantly bolster the team’s offensive capabilities.
Chicago Sky
The Chicago Sky have secured only three wins from their last ten games, all of which came against similarly underperforming squads — the Los Angeles Sparks and the Connecticut Sun. To compound their problems, Kamilla Cardoso, who had been contributing 12.4 points and 6.9 rebounds per game, is now sidelined through injury. The timing is especially unfortunate, as she had been in excellent form, notably scoring 27 points against the Los Angeles Sparks.
Washington Mystics vs Chicago Sky Prediction
This does not look like it will be a close contest. While the Washington Mystics are not without flaws, they are expected to comfortably handle the disorganized Chicago Sky squad currently in disarray. The pick here is for the home team to cover the spread.
