The Washington Mystics (3-3) host the Los Angeles Sparks (3-3) in a WNBA 2026 matchup on Friday, May 29, at Entertainment and Sports Arena in Washington, D.C.
These two teams sit dead-even in the middle of the standings, but Los Angeles is the team that enters this game with real momentum. The Sparks have quietly turned a corner, winning three of their last four games.
What's even more impressive is they're coming off a 101-95 win over A'ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces. Six Sparks scored in double digits, led by Kelsey Plum's 38 markers. The floor general also stuffed the stat sheet with four rebounds and nine assists, while only missing one of her seven attempts from the three-point line.
The Sparks have been humming on offense, ranking second in the league in offensive rating (113.3). However, their main concern so far is their defense, which sits last in defensive rating (118.8).
As for the Mystics, they snapped their two-game skid with a 78-64 victory over the Seattle Storm. Shakira Austin hauled in a massive double-double performance of 18 points and 13 boards.
With no injuries to report, this could be an all-out battle between two teams aiming to get over the .500 line.
