Sun vs Mystics predictions
As the Connecticut Sun prepare to take on the Washington Mystics, all eyes are likely to be on DeWanna Bonner, who has been a scoring powerhouse with an average of 16.2 points per game. However, the Sun could face some challenges if Alyssa Thomas, a crucial playmaker and rebounder averaging 9.6 rebounds and 7.7 assists per game, isn't at full strength due to her day-to-day ankle situation. Her performance, or potential absence, could significantly sway the game, challenging other team members to step up, especially on the rebounding front and in facilitating plays.
On the Washington Mystics side, Ariel Atkins will need to showcase her scoring abilities and potentially exceed her average of 14.8 points per game to keep the game competitive. The Mystics will also rely heavily on Julie Vanloo’s playmaking skills, as she averages 5.4 assists per game, to catalyze their offense. Furthermore, Aaliyah Edwards, who's currently day-to-day but a crucial presence under the basket with an average of 6.3 rebounds per game, could play a pivotal role. Her participation and performance might just tip the scales for Washington, providing them with much-needed defensive stops and additional scoring opportunities.
Given the current form and standings, the Connecticut Sun, with their depth and more consistent season performance, appear to be the favorites to clinch this matchup. However, basketball can always surprise us, and the Mystics' home advantage, paired with a potentially spirited performance by key players like Atkins and Edwards, might just give them a fighting chance. It'll be interesting to see if Washington can harness their home court advantage effectively to disrupt Connecticut's rhythm and put a dent in their impressive record.
