The Washington Mystics are on fire, riding a six-game win streak and sitting sixth in the league as they host the struggling Phoenix Mercury — who traded for Kelsey Plum hoping she’d spark a playoff push. With only 11 games left and seven-and-a-half games behind the final spot, Phoenix needs miracles to make the postseason, especially against Mystics’ elite home defense and dominant recent form. Plum’s averaging over 21 points with stellar shooting, but it’s not enough to overcome Washington’s momentum, strong net rating, and consistent cover of the spread at home. This is just the first of three matchups — expect a battle, but the Mystics look poised to keep rolling. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
