The Washington Mystics will try to move into some rare air, seeking a season-best fourth straight win Friday night when they host the reeling Dallas Wings as 2.5-point underdogs.
Washington will look for its third straight win against a top four seed as well, but my Wings vs. Mystics predictions and WNBA picks has the home team catching the visitors at just the wrong time.
Dallas rides a healthy road win streak into DC, with added motivation from a crushing late-game collapse last start against Atlanta.
Wings vs Mystics prediction
Wings vs Mystics best bet: Wings -2.5 (-115)
The best thing for the Dallas Wings is to hit the road, where they’ve won five straight while averaging 94.4 points, with every victory by at least three points.
The Washington Mystics enter hot, scoring 90 or more during its win streak, but the Wings dominated the first meeting, a 92-69 blowout after forcing 19 turnovers that led to 23 points.
That's a troubling matchup for the Mystics, as they’re last in the league allowing 19.1 points off turnovers per game.
Backed by a top five scoring defense, Dallas is well-positioned to end Washington's run.
I'd play the Wings up to -3.5.
COVERS INTEL: While much of the buzz around the Wings surrounds star Paige Bueckers and top pick Azzi Fudd, don’t sleep on big Jessica Shepard. She leads the WNBA with 19 double-doubles and has led the Wings in rebounding in 26 of 28 games this season.
Wings vs Mystics same-game parlay
The books are mighty generous for Jessica Shepard’s rebounding line vs. Washington, set at 11.5. The 6-foot-4 forward has grabbed at least 12 boards in eight of her last 10, and pulled down 16 in her only meeting with Washington this season.
They’re also kind to Shakira Austin’s scoring prop, set at 15.5. She’s topped that number in six of her last seven and remains a key piece of the offence alongside teammate Sonia Citron.
