Washington vs. Seattle – WNBA Game Preview, Prediction and Player Props
Spread: Seattle -7.0 | Total: 159.5
Washington Mystics Outlook
The Mystics (10-10) are flirting with a .500 record for the first time since early May and carry some real momentum into Sunday’s clash in Seattle. Washington is fresh off a gutsy 70-68 win over the Las Vegas Aces, rallying from a second-half deficit with a clutch 12-2 run to close the game.
Brittney Sykes bounced back in a big way, scoring 18 points after a rough four-game stretch. Washington will need her production to keep up to challenge the Storm’s suffocating defense.
Washington’s offense is still inconsistent early in games, but if they can get hot in the second half again and find rhythm from deep, they have the tools to hang around against a Seattle squad that has had their own stumbles.
Player Prop to Watch (Washington):
Brittney Sykes Over 15.5 Points – She found her shooting touch last game and will be leaned on heavily again in a challenging matchup.
Seattle Storm Outlook
The Storm (13-8) are one of the WNBA’s stingiest defenses, allowing just 79.2 points per game. Their balanced approach on both ends of the court has them as firm home favorites, despite some recent inconsistencies.
Led by Skylar Diggins-Smith, Seattle boasts strong shooting efficiency, ranking second in field goal percentage and top-three from beyond the arc. But their last five games haven’t been clean: an ugly 84-57 loss to the Valkyries and a late collapse against the Sun raised some red flags.
Still, playing at home with their depth and defensive pressure, the Storm are expected to control the pace and force the Mystics into tough looks early.
Player Prop to Watch (Seattle):
Skylar Diggins-Smith Over 5.5 Assists – Running the point with efficiency, she’s the engine of this offense and should rack up playmaking numbers.
Prediction & Betting Outlook:
The Mystics are trending upward, but this is a tough spot on the road. Expect a late push, but not quite enough to steal a win. Seattle should bounce back strong. With better execution and home-court edge, they’re well-positioned to cover the spread in a defensive grinder.
Seattle covers the spread with steady defense and consistent shooting, while the Mystics fight to stay competitive but fall short late.
Best Bet: Seattle -7.0
Toral: Under 159.5
Final Score Prediction: Seattle 81, Washington 73
