The Washington Mystics will continue their 2021 WNBA season campaign starting this Sunday against the Las Vegas Aces. They are currently 8-10, or eighth in the WNBA standings. One strong push at the end of the regular season could help them get a Top-6 seed to avoid a first round playoff game. And a slump could just as easily put them in the lottery.
Right now, the Mystics are just 0.5 games behind the Phoenix Mercury and New York Liberty for the No. 6 seed. They are just one game behind the Chicago Sky for the No. 5 seed which is also doable.
