Washington Mystics News
Projected Lineup: Brittney Sykes, Julie Vanloo, Ariel Atkins, Aaliyah Edwards, Stefanie Dolson
Coach Thibault used all 11 available players in the last game, and it sounds like that won’t change as the Mystics are 2.0 games behind the Sky for the last playoff spot:
“We’ve made our runs the last couple games … with groups that had either never played together, never played for us or not had played together much. So, probably going to see that continue. … I’m going to continue to prioritize that over anything else.”
The Mystics have a league-worst 91.9 Offensive Rating since the Olympic break, but they’ve compensated during their three-game winning streak with a league-best 90.0 Defensive Rating.
