The Washington Mystics play the Los Angeles Sparks on Sunday afternoon. Here is the preview.

How to watch: Monumental Sports Network
Mystics: Shakira Austin - Out (Leg), Jacy Sheldon - Out (Ankle), Georgia Amoore - Out (Leg)
The Mystics come into Sunday’s game after a big win against the Indiana Fever last Friday. They are now 15-18, 1.5 games behind the Seattle Storm for the eighth playoff seed. The Sparks are 16-17 and sitting in 9th place, having gone 7-3 in their last 10 games. A win here will keep Washington in striking distance of a playoff seed like they have been all season long. A loss on the other hand could make their hopes of a postseason run a lot harder to achieve. Let’s see how this game goes tomorrow.
