UPDATE: The Washington Mystics are set to battle the Atlanta Dream today at 3:00 PM EDT in a critical WNBA matchup that could dramatically affect playoff standings. Fans can catch the action live on WPCH – Peachtree Sports Network or stream it via Fubo.
This game is pivotal for both teams. The Atlanta Dream (17-11) are looking to secure a coveted No. 2 seed if they can clinch a win and the New York Liberty suffer another upset against the Connecticut Sun. Meanwhile, the Washington Mystics (13-14) are in a fierce battle for the final playoff spot, trailing the Las Vegas Aces by just half a game.
The Mystics are hoping to rebound from a narrow 68-67 loss to the Golden State Warriors on Thursday. Sonia Citron led the scoring with 16 points, but only two other players reached double digits—Shakira Austin and Kiki Iriafen with 10 points each. Brittney Sykes had a quieter game, leaving the team needing a stronger performance today.
In contrast, the Atlanta Dream enter this game with momentum, having won their last two games, including a convincing 95-72 victory over the Phoenix Mercury. Allisha Gray has emerged as a darkhorse MVP candidate, scoring 26 points in that game, while Naz Hillmon contributed significantly with 18 points and 9 rebounds. Notably, Brittney Griner missed the last game due to a neck injury, and her status for today remains uncertain.
As the playoff picture tightens, every game counts. Fans are encouraged to tune in and support their teams as both the Mystics and Dream aim for postseason glory. Don’t miss the chance to see stars like A’ja Wilson, Caitlin Clark, and Paige Bueckers throughout the season on Fubo.
