Mystics vs Sparks predictions
As the Washington Mystics take to the court in Los Angeles, they'll be relying on key players to step up and snap their three-game losing streak. Ariel Atkins, their leading scorer, will likely look to exploit the Sparks' defense with her quick drives to the basket. I wouldn't be surprised if she drops 18 points or more, considering her 15.7 points per game average so far this season. Meanwhile, Shakira Austin, if cleared to play, will be crucial in the paint, using her rebounding prowess to give the Mystics extra possessions. Julie Vanloo's playmaking abilities will also be crucial in facilitating the Mystics' offense.
On the other side, the Los Angeles Sparks will be banking on Dearica Hamby's all-around dominance to get them their first win of the season. With an impressive 24.5 points and 11.5 rebounds per game, Hamby is a force to be reckoned with. Layshia Clarendon's 7.0 assists per game will be key in getting the Sparks' offense flowing, and if they can get their outside shooters going, the Sparks could be in for a big night. With the Mystics' struggling defense, it's conceivable that the Sparks could put up a big number.
Given the Sparks' home-court advantage and the Mystics' recent struggles, I think Los Angeles will come out on top in this one. Expect a high-scoring affair, but in the end, the Sparks' balanced attack will prove too much for the Mystics. I'm taking the Sparks to cover the 2.5-point spread and get their season back on track. What do you think, are you with me on this one?
