The Mystics head to Chicago to face the Sky in a very important matchup that could determine playoff seeding.
The Washington Mystics (11-24) had a tough and rough start to the season, in the form of a… 0-12 start. Since that low-point, however, the Mystics are roughly a .500 team. In fact if they win tomorrow in Chicago, they will be exactly .500 in their last 24 games, an impressive achievement given the awful start of their season. Here is the preview.

Pregame notes
The Washington Mystics will face the Chicago Sky for the fourth time in the regular season on a Friday evening primetime. The Mystics are currently 2 games behind the Sky. A win tomorrow will mean they cut that down to 1 game. That would make the race to one of those last spots of the WNBA Playoffs quite interesting.
In fact, the Mystics have won two of the previous three games against the Sky. Winning this one would also secure them the tie-break. Interesting!
Chicago Sky has just won their last two games, but prior to that they had a nasty 7-game losing streak. They will surely want to show they have turned the corner, especially in this pivotal game to maintain their 8th seed spot.
Here are the highlights from the Mystics’ previous game against the Sun, less than a fortnight ago, that the Mystics won narrowly.
