Alright, let's chew on this upcoming WNBA contest, shall we? Atlanta Dream is paying a visit to the Washington Mystics. A splendid exchange of skill is what we can look forward to here, especially considering the superb form of a few players. For the Dream, Tina Charles has been commanding the court lately, delivering a cool average of over 17 points a game last month. Rhyne Howard isn't far behind either, stuffing the stat sheet with an impressive 20.8 points average. And let's not forget good ol' Allisha Gray; she's been keeping the defense on their toes with a 15.9 points average.
Now, the Mystics haven't been twiddling their thumbs either. Brittney Sykes has been pulling her weight with 13.3 points average last month. Shakira Austin is making herself known with over 12 points, while Stefanie Dolson has been doing her part as well.
The wrestling match between these two teams in the past has been nail-bitingly close, and the Mystics seem to have won the tug of war more often. The regular season records don't do much to separate them either - their win-loss ratio paints a picture of two teams harrowingly matched.
Both teams have had a mixed bag of luck recently, but the Mystics have shown slightly sharper teeth, even nabbing a victory away from the Dream. Based on their current positions in the standing, there's no Everest to climb for either team. But remember folks, in sports, luck can work in mysterious ways, turning underdogs into champions, and champions into yesterday's paper.
So where does that leave us? Washington Mystics as favorites or Atlanta Dream causing an upset? The Mystics did take the last encounter. Ah, placing bets on sports is like trying to win at roulette; you never really know what's going to happen, do you? But oh, you want me to pick a side, don't you?
