Behold the showdown: New York Liberty visiting the Washington Mystics. New York is the powerhouse standing towering at number 2 on the WNBA leaderboard. They have been leaving a trail of victories with a perfect record, seven win quantums tucked neatly in their bag. On the opposite end, here stand the Mystics at a humbling number 8 with a slightly disappointing 3-5 record. There's always room for a plot twist in this game of bouncing balls, huh?
We have some performances worth mentioning. On the Liberty side, we see Jonquel Jones, Breanna Stewart, and Sabrina Ionescu putting up impressive numbers. Jones, Stewart, and Ionescu are holding steady, each contributing heavily to their team's victories.
Switching gears to the Mystics, Brittney Sykes is a standout with a 21.4 point average. Kiki Iriafen isn't shy either, contributing 14.6 points and a tenacious 10 rebound average to boot. Not to forget Sonia Citron chipping in decent numbers as well.
Look back at the last few matches between these two teams, Liberty danced off the court leaving Mystics scratching their heads each time. The gap was as wide as 22 points in their last encounter and if we're going to make predictions here, Liberty's seven straight wins this season against the Mystics' recent rocky performance lack the signs of a plot twist we discussed earlier.
So put it this way, in the harsh realm of facts and figures, New York Liberty seems poised to eclipse the Washington Mystics yet again.
Albert’s Prediction: New York Liberty by 13.
