  • The Washington Mystics (13-16, 7-7 Eastern Conference) visit the Minnesota Lynx (25-5, 17-2 Western Conference) at Target Center in Minneapolis on Friday at 7:30 p.m. EDT.
  • Minnesota is riding a three-game win streak and owns a 15-1 record at home ahead of the third matchup between these teams.
  • The Lynx lead the league with 9.7 made 3-pointers per game, while the Mystics shoot 43.4 percent from the field, a rate 1.7 points above what Minnesota’s opponents average.
