It's going down at Gainbridge Fieldhouse and we got you covered. The Washington Mystics will take on the Indiana Fever tonight. These two teams last played back in June and the Fever won by nine points.

Washington is 14-18 this season and currently tenth in the league. They come into this game off a loss to the Valkyries on Wednesday which is a game they probably should've won. The Mystics are 3-7 in their last ten games and 5-11 on this road this year.

The team just parted ways with guard Brittney Sykes to Seattle. Sykes was the teams leading scorer, but I guess the organization really has faith in their rookies, Kiki Iriafen and Sonia Citron.

Both ladies have taken the league by storm. Iriafen is averaging 12.5 points and 8.3 rebounds per game while Citron leading the team in scoring, averaging 14.8 points per game.

Indiana looks to keep a float without Caitlin Clark

Fever guard Sophie Cunningham reacts to the crowd after draining a three pointer.

The Fever are 18-15 so far and are sixth in the league. They come into this game off a loss to the Wings on Tuesday by one point. Indiana is 6-4 in their last ten games and are 10-7 at home.

Indiana has been without guard Caitlin Clark for some time now and no time table for her return. They are 6-5 since Clark went out with a groin injury. Players like Aliyah Boston and Natasha Howard have stepped up to help keep this team in the playoff hunt.

Guard Kelsey Mitchell has also been carrying the back court, averaging 20 points per game. They have also seen help from Aari McDonald and Sophie Cunningham who have both now started over ten game each.

The defense is kind of weak in Indiana, so look for the Mystics to take advantage. Indy is only seventh in rebounding, sixth in steals and eighth in turnovers. Let's check out the odds and get into the Mystics vs. Fever picks.

The spread is a decent amount even without Clark. Washington is definitely a different team without Sykes and I also believe that a reason for this line. Either way, I'm rolling with the Fever at home to cover.

Indy has 10 of their 18 wins at home this season while Washington also struggles on the road. Aliyah Boston should be cooking this game down low and keep an eye on Natasha Howard as well. Neither had a good game last time they played each other and I see a bounce back coming.

I like for Kelsey Mitchell to record 20 or more points for -130. It's a little juicy but she is the top dog of this offense right now. Mitchell has 24 points in their last meetings and cleared the line in her last three out of four games.

On the other side, give me Kiki Iriafen for 14 or more points for -128. Kiki has been playing great lately, hitting this line in her last two games. She also had a 20 piece vs. Indy last time and I think she has a great chance to do it again being a focal part of the offense.
