While the WNBA season continues, it's important for teams at the bottom of the standings to step up and move up the ladder. On Saturday, two teams that sit in opposite echelons of their respective WNBA conferences meet when the Washington Mystics face the Minnesota Lynx at Target Center. This will be the first meeting between the two teams this season.
The Lynx (14-6) have been in scintillating form, dismantling almost every team that steps in their way, and victory against Washington will further boost their playoff ambitions. However, back-to-back defeats to the Connecticut Sun and New York Liberty means Cheryl Reeve's side has suffered consecutive losses for the first time this season.
Eric Thibault’s Washington (5-16) has struggled for consistency and sit 11th in the overall standings. While the Mystics did manage to pull off wins against the injury-plagued LA Sparks and Dallas Wings last week, these victories mean very little if they don't find consistent form for the remainder of the campaign.
