Dallas Wings vs Washington Mystics: Preview
The Mystics have more than a 99% chance to make it to the playoffs this season. While Dallas Wings only have a 75% chance, they still display high determination to make it through.
Coming off a huge 78-69 win from the New York Liberty, it is pretty safe to say that the Mystics are in incredible form in recent times, especially Elena Donne.
She scored a whopping 25 points last games, passing out 3 assists as well.
Their opponents, the Dallas Wings have been extremely dynamic this season, but their performance has been a bit disappointing still. They last played the Indiana Fever on Sunday and defeated them by a score of 96-86.

Dallas Wings vs Washington Mystics: Best Picks
Elena Delle Donne
Elena is extremely talented. Appearing 6 times in the WNBA All-Star team, 2x WNBA MVP and former WNBA Champion, she’s been adorned with laurels.
She’s having an incredible season as well, averaging 19.9 points per game, paired with 6.9 rebounds and 1.8 assists. She’s an excellent mid-range shooter, is capable of slashing through defense with her layups and has an incredible 3-pt range.

Myisha Hines-Allen
Former WNBA Champion Myisha Hines-Allen is a small forward every team would want on their side. With her incredible rebounding skills, she can easily turn the tide on the opposition with a quick turnover, and is a decent shooter from beyond the arc.
She’s having a mediocre season, but we can see a star molding into their prime. Averaging 8.3 points, 5 rebounds and 1.3 turnovers per game, she is definitely one of the top picks for Thursday’s game.
Arike Ogunbowale
This WNBA “Rookie” got drafted by the Wings in 2019. Since then, she has become the WNBA All-Star MVP, has appeared twice in the All-Star team and the WNBA Scoring Champion. She is a gifted point guard with a deep 3-pt range and commendable playmaking capabilities.
Boasting 19.9 points per game, 3.4 assists and 2.9 rebounds this season, she might just be on her way to be the most valuable player.
Dallas Wings vs Washington Mystics: Possible Lineup
Washington Mystics: Guard– Natasha Cloud | Power Forward – Elena Delle Donne | Power Forward– Myisha Hines-Allen | Shooting Guard – Ariel Atkins | Small Forward – Alysha Clark

They face a tough challenge this Thursday.
Though the Mystics have shown formidable form this season, they must be reminded that a single player isn’t capable of carrying the team to victories. Basketball is a team sport, and having Elena Delle Donne deep in the wetworks every game is not going to be the best play.
All in all, both the teams are identical. We might see Mystics coming out on top, though.
