Washington Mystics vs Chicago Sky Preview
This upcoming game will be the first Mystics-Sky matchup of the 2025 WNBA season. Coming into this game, the Sky is fresh off a win against the Connecticut Sun on Saturday. They won 78-66, following a triple-double from Angel Reese, who finished with 11 points, 11 assists and 13 rebounds.
However, the team has had a rough start and is 1-3 over its last four games, losing to the Indiana Fever, New York Liberty and Atlanta Dream.

Washington Mystics vs Chicago Sky Prediction
On paper, there isn’t much separating the Mystics from the Sky, but Washington is still favored to win Tuesday’s game on the road.
