Game Analysis & Prediction

The Liberty enter this matchup as the WNBA’s hottest team, boasting an undefeated record and elite offensive efficiency. Breanna Stewart continues to dominate, averaging 21.3 points per game, while Sabrina Ionescu’s playmaking has been crucial in setting the pace. New York ranks first in net rating (+13.7) and second in defensive rating (80.0), making them a formidable opponent. Washington, despite its struggles, has shown flashes of brilliance. Natasha Cloud has been a standout performer, leading the Mystics in scoring and assists. However, injuries have plagued the team, with Georgia Amoore out for the season (ACL), limiting their depth. The Mystics will need a strong defensive effort to contain New York’s high-powered offense.
