Washington Mystics (16-25) and Phoenix Mercury (26-14) will lock horns on Thursday night at the CareFirst Arena. The Mystics, who have a .390 win percentage, will come into this game knowing that all their playoff hopes are up in flames. Last weekend, they lost to the Valkyries 99-62 and 81-78 to the Sparks, ultimately ending their playoff dreams. Still, they’ll come into this game hoping to win and end the season on a high.
Phoenix Mercury, on the other hand, was among the earliest teams to book their WNBA playoff spots. They are fourth in the league standings with a .650 win percentage and third in the Western Conference. However, they are still fighting for the #2 seed in the West with the Aces, each team sitting six games behind the Lynx. The Aces are in red-hot form at the moment, meaning the Mercury cannot afford to drop their four remaining matches.
