My Prediction
Minnesota Lynx by 10Looking at the upcoming matchup of the Washington Mystics traveling to face off against the Minnesota Lynx, here's what can be expected for those biting their nails in anticipation.
Let's put the limelight on the Washington Mystics first. They scored the enigmatic and formidable Brittney Sykes, a player who last month averaged 16.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 5.0 assists per game - quite the triple threat if you ask me. And then we have Shakira Austin, putting up a respectable 15 points and 7.6 rebounds per game last month. No slacker, our Austin. Not an ideal season for Mystics with a lukewarm 8-9 win-loss record, landing them the #9 spot in the WNBA.
Contrast this to the Minnesota Lynx. Their pride and joy Napheesa Collier has shown some impressive game with 22.9 points per game and 8.9 rebounds per game last month. Frankly, I've seen less action in a Transformers movie. Then there's Courtney Williams flexing with her 12.2 points per game and 5.6 assists per game last month, solidifying the Lynx's formidable front. No wonder they are perched comfortably at the zenith of the WNBA standings with a 14-2 win-loss record.
The last five meetings between these teams have been real nail-biters, with Lynx leading three games to two. The most recent was a minor upset with the Mystics snatching victory from the jaws of the Lynx.
Considering the recent results, the Mystics have been slightly hyperactive, sending down the Las Vegas Aces, but had their wings clipped by the Dallas Wings. The Lynx are seemingly in a league of their own as they store victories like a squirrel stores nuts, barring an unexpected stumble against the Indiana Fever.
To anyone brave enough to bet, here's something to consider. The Mystics, yes, they have their moments, but with the Lynx standing tall and proud, this battle looks like a climb uphill for the Mystics - a steep climb.
With such firepower on display, i predict:
