The Washington Mystics (12-12) visit the Golden State Valkyries (19-7) for a 2026 WNBA regular season matchup on Monday, July 20, at Chase Center.
It's the second leg of the mini-series between the Mystics and the Valkyries, and their third game overall this season. The Valkyries have won the first two games, including a 74-69 victory last Saturday. Gabby Williams led the way for Golden State with 18 points, 5 assists, and 3 steals.
The recent win against Washington was Golden State's ninth straight. They're the hottest team in the league, especially with their work on defense. The Valkyries have the best defensive rating right now (101.4).
As for the Mystics, they've lost back-to-back games. Their offense hasn't been very good in those two games. They only managed 56 points last Thursday against the Portland Fire, and then 69 against the Valkyries.
It's not a surprise, considering that the Mystics have the worst offensive rating in the league (100.5). It doesn't help that they're going up against the Valkyries' elite defense.
Some good news for the fans: these two teams will be in full force on Monday. Only Sarah Feagin, who hasn't played this season, is sitting out for Golden State.
