This might feature a shorthanded Fever against a Mystics squad already eliminated from postseason contention, but with playoff stakes on the line, it has the makings of a high-energy battle.

The Fever have proven capable against Washington, though leading scorer Kelsey Mitchell has averaged just 17.3 points per game against the Mystics—below her 20.5 season mark.

The Mystics, once in the playoff picture, saw their hopes dashed with a mid-July slide. They enter Sunday on an eight-game skid, though four of those defeats came by 10 points or fewer, including the past two.

Adding to the motivation, this marks Washington’s final home game of the year, giving them incentive to close out on a positive note.

Aliyah Boston O/U 14.5 points– Take the over.
Sonia Citron O/U 13.5 points– Take the over.
Kiki Iriafen O/U 13.5 points– Take the over.

Indiana Fever vs Washington Mystics prediction

The Fever come in hungrier and with momentum on their side. Even without Caitlin Clark, Sophie Cunningham, Aari McDonald, Syd Colson, and Chloe Bibby, Indiana still has enough weapons to outlast a stumbling but competitive Washington group.

Our prediction: Fever win by 8.
