Overview

  • Chicago (7-21, 1-11 East) hosts Washington (13-15, 7-6 East) at 8 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, seeking to snap a six-game home losing streak.
  • Angel Reese averages 12.6 rebounds to pace Chicago, which leads the Eastern Conference with 36.4 boards per game.
  • The Mystics have lost their last two games and can secure their first four-game sweep of the season series against the Sky.
  • Key absences include Chicago’s Ariel Atkins (leg) and Courtney Vandersloot (season-ending ACL) and Washington’s Georgia Amoore (season-ending ACL), thinning both rosters.
  • A Washington victory would bolster its playoff positioning in a tightly contested Eastern Conference where every conference win carries added weight.
