Mystics Looking to Build Momentum on the Road
Washington enters this matchup with a 5-6 overall record and a 3-3 mark away from home. The Mystics are coming off a narrow 86-85 victory over Toronto on June 12. Prior to that win, they recently lost to Indiana 78-76 and recently lost to Atlanta 109-77. Washington also recently won over Chicago 90-72 before recently losing to Los Angeles 92-87. The recent results illustrate a team that has been competitive but has struggled to find consistent momentum.
The Mystics are averaging 83.0 points per game while allowing 86.7 points per contest. Washington is shooting 45 percent from the field and averages 35.7 rebounds and 19.0 assists per game. Defensively, the team records 3.6 blocks and 6.2 steals per contest. Those numbers show a club capable of producing offense while remaining active on the defensive end.
One area that stands out for Washington is its ability to create defensive plays around the basket. The Mystics average slightly more blocks than New York and remain competitive on the glass. However, allowing 86.7 points per game has made it difficult for the team to consistently turn strong offensive performances into victories, especially against some of the league's stronger opponents.

New York comes into this contest with a 9-4 overall record and a 5-3 home record. The Liberty have been one of the hottest teams in the league recently, winning each of their last five games. During that stretch, New York recently won over Atlanta 104-90, recently won over Connecticut 89-80, recently won over Indiana 83-75, recently won over Toronto 97-82, and recently won over Phoenix 75-68. That winning streak has helped solidify the Liberty's position near the top of the standings.
The Liberty have been one of the league's most productive offensive teams, averaging 88.6 points per game while allowing 82.8. New York is shooting 46 percent from the field and averages 36.4 rebounds and 21.1 assists per contest. Defensively, the Liberty average 3.5 blocks and 5.8 steals per game.

The biggest strength for New York is its overall balance. The Liberty score more points per game than Washington while also allowing fewer points.
