MYSTICS vs. FEVER WHAT TO WATCH
From NBC Sports Washington's Tyler Byrum:
"The Mystics will play the Seattle Storm in a rematch of the 2018 WNBA Finals as they begin their chase for a championship. The only question that remains on their playoff fate will be if the best-of-three series begins in Seattle or D.C. Playing the Indiana Fever twice in the final weekend goes a long way in determining that outcome. Having sights purely set on Seattle isn't how the Mystics are approaching this week." Read more
"There's only one path for Washington to jump up to fourth place and that's winning both games while Seattle loses their two against the Minnesota Lynx and Las Vegas Aces. Any other scenario and the Storm have homecourt advantage where the first two games will be at Climate Pledge Arena and a potential winner-take-all Game 3 being at the Entertainment and Sports Arena in Southeast."

MYSTICS vs. FEVER PLAYERS TO WATCH
Mystics: Shakira Austin, C: The Mystics' rookie has been a consistent presence in the starting lineup all season and went for 17 points in just 22 minutes last time out against Chicago. Look for Austin to put up another nice stat line against a weak Fever team.
Fever: Kelsey Mitchell, G: Mitchell leads the Fever in scoring (18.4 PPG) and has shot a career-best 40.9% from three this season.
