The Connecticut Sun will try to break a five-game losing streak when they host the Washington Mystics on Wednesday night.
Connecticut is among the worst teams in the WNBA in nearly all major categories, and I’m taking Washington to win in my Mystics vs. Sun predictions below.
Let’s take a closer look at tonight’s matchup as I reveal my free WNBA picks for Wednesday, June 17.
Mystics vs Sun prediction
Mystics vs Sun best bet: Mystics moneyline (-120)
The Connecticut Sun are the consensus worst team the WNBA, ranking second-last in offensive rating (96.3) and 12th in defensive rating (110.8).
They’re dead last in many key metrics, ranging from effective field goal percentage (45.8%) to foul rate (25.9%) and points allowed per scoring attempt (1.18).
The Washington Mystics draw a league-leading 24.1 fouls per game, and are strong in the paint, ranking third in rebounding rate (53.8%).
That creates lots of easy points, which is too much for Connecticut to deal with. I like Washington to win outright at -130 or better.
COVERS INTEL: The Mystics average 42.5 points in the paint per game, the second-highest total in the WNBA. That will be a problem for the Sun, who allow opponents to shoot 54.5% inside the arc.
Mystics vs Sun same-game parlay
These are two of the worst offensive teams in the WNBA. The Mystics rank 13th in scoring at 81.4 ppg, with Connecticut coming in at 14th (77.9 ppg).
Neither likes to play particularly quickly either, with Washington playing especially slow at just 81.5 possessions per 40 minutes, the third-lowest mark in the league.
One player who has been producing for the Mystics lately has been Michaela Onyenwere. The forward is averaging 11.5 points and 3.3 rebounds per game this season, but has stepped up to score exactly 17 points in each of her last three games while putting up 4.7 rebounds per contest in that span.
She should easily hit per combined points and rebounds total against the Sun tonight.
