The Washington Mystics and Connecticut Sun meet Sunday in WNBA action at the Mohegan Sun Arena. Here’s a Sun vs Mystics Prediction. This article will include a Sun vs Mystics Pick.
Washington Mystics Betting Preview
The Washington Mystics look for a quick 2-0 start after beating the Dream on Friday. The Mystics look to start the season with a 2-0 record for the first time since 2022.
The Washington Mystics are averaging 94 points on 50.8 percent shooting and allowing 90 points on 40.5 percent shooting. Brittney Sykes is averaging 22 points and 3 rebounds, while Sonia Citron is averaging 19 points and 2 assists. Kiki Iriafen is the third double-digit scorer and Sug Sutton is grabbing 1 rebound. The Washington Mystics are shooting 50 percent from beyond the arc and 74.2 percent from the free throw line. The Washington Mystics allowing 33.3 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 26 rebounds per game.
Connecticut Sun Betting Preview
The Sun won 28 games last season and now begin the Rachid Meziane coaching era. The Sun haven’t missed the playoffs since 2016. The Sun are in a transition period, as they’re the first WNBA team to lose all five starters in a single season. Say goodbye to players such as DeWanna Bonner, Brionna Jones, DiJonai Carrington, Alyssa Thomas, and Tyasha Harris.
Marina Mabrey is the only notable returning player, while Tina Charles returns after spending her first four seasons in Connecticut. Charles is a legend, but she’s also now 36 years old. Not much is expected from the Sun this season, and the focus should be on the growth of first round picks Aneesah Morrow and Saniya Rivers. This could be the year that playoff streak is snapped.
Sun vs Mystics Injury Report
The Mystics will be without Georgia Amoore and Aaliyah Edwards. Shakira Austin is probable despite a leg injury.
The Sun will be without Saniya Rivers, Aneesah Morrow, and Leila Lacan.
Sun vs Mystics Prediction
I like the Mystics more in the underdog role than I do as a favorite, but this is a game they should win. The Sun are breaking in a brand-new starting five, coaching staff, and they have some notable names on the injury report. The Mystics are coming off a nice upset win over the Dream which provides a confidence boost, and they’ve had the benefit of getting a game under their belt. There should be far fewer jitters and rust for the Mystics. The line also isn’t anything crazy. Give me the Mystics on Sunday afternoon.
