Washington Mystics vs. Dallas Wings preview
The Washington Mystics are yet to win a game in August as they enter this game on the back of four consecutive losses. Enjoying a better run of form in July with five wins and four losses, the Mystics will need a consistent run if form if they are to push for the playoffs. However, the team has seen a major shift in its roster before the WNBA deadline, with its leading star, Brittney Sykes, being shipped out for a veteran, Alysha Clark.
With Sykes's exit, the Mystics will rely on their rookie Sonia Citron to lead them to victory. The youngster is firmly in the Rookie of the Year race and has been a consistent performer for Washington. She currently averages 14.7 points and 4.5 rebounds per game.
On the other hand, the Dallas Wings have struggled to put up a winning run throughout the season. The team is yet to win more than two games in a row this season, and, similar to the Mystics, is without a win in August. Currently placed second from the bottom, the Wings look unlikely to make the playoffs, but they will hope to set the bar for the upcoming season.
In terms of performances, the Wings are similar to the Mystics and are heavily reliant on their rookie Paige Bueckers. The guard has been their best performer all season and is averaging 18.6 points and 5.4 assists per game.

The Dallas Wings will be led by Arike Ogunbowale in Paige Bueckers' absence. The guard led her team with 17 points against the Liberty in the last game and should be the favored pick with odds of +100 for over 16.5 recorded.
