Three games are going to happen on Friday night in the WNBA, and I'm going to talk about the match between Dallas Wings and Washington Mystics. After 23 games, the Wings have 13 wins, 10 losses and 4th place in the standings while the Mystics have 12 wins, 11 losses and 6th place. In this game, I predict that Dallas is going to win by at least 9 points.

A couple of days ago, the Wings had a really tough battle against the Sun which they lost, meaning that the 5-game winning streak has ended. Overall the team is playing very well as they have 7 wins in the last 9 games. The other loss was against the Aces on the road but a few days later, Dallas got revenge at home against Las Vegas. The Wings are also playing very well at home with 4 wins in the last 5 games.

While the Mystics were talked about as the 4th-best team in the league at the start of the season, now the situation is different. Washington has won only 3 games in the last 9 matches and I can't say that those wins were impressive as all the opponents are at the bottom of the standings - the Fever, Storm and Mercury. One of the biggest reasons for recent struggles is the roster issues. Elena Delle Donne, Shakira Austin and Ariel Atkins have been sidelined for some time and they are 3 of the 5 best scorers of the team.

Both teams are on different paths currently. Since June 30th, the Wings have 6 wins and 2 losses while the Mystics have 3 wins and 6 losses. If we look at the net ratings, the Wings during this stretch have a net rating of 10.8 (2nd best) and the Mystics have -2.9. The situation is way more different if look at location. At home, Dallas has a net rating of 8.4 but Washington on the road has a net rating of -10.8 (3rd worst).

At this point of the season, teams are in different shapes and moods. The Wings with a win tonight will be a little bit safer in the 4th position and they have lost only to the TOP3 recently while Washington is drowning. The Mystics have lost the last 5 road games and that includes a match in Dallas where the Wings won by 17 points. Atkins played in that game and scored 20 points (the most) but tonight she won't be available. This could be a very long night for Washington.

周五晚上将有三场比赛在WNBA进行，我要谈谈达拉斯之翼和华盛顿神秘队之间的比赛。23场比赛后，老鹰队13胜10负，排名第4，而神秘队12胜11负，排名第6。在这场比赛中，我预测小牛队将以至少9分的优势获胜。

几天前，翼队与太阳队进行了一场艰苦的比赛，他们输了，这意味着五连胜已经结束了。总的来说，球队打得很好，他们在最近的9场比赛中取得了7场胜利。另一场失利是在客场对阵ace，但几天后，达拉斯在主场对拉斯维加斯复仇。翅膀在主场也打得很好，最近5场比赛赢了4场。

虽然神秘队在赛季初被认为是联盟第四好的球队，但现在的情况不同了。奇才队在过去的9场比赛中只赢了3场，我不能说这些胜利令人印象深刻，因为所有的对手都在积分榜的末尾——热火队、风暴队和水星队。最近挣扎的最大原因之一是阵容问题。Elena Delle Donne, Shakira Austin和Ariel Atkins已经缺阵一段时间了，他们是球队最好的5个得分手中的3个。

两支球队目前都在不同的道路上。自6月30日以来，老鹰队6胜2负，而神秘队3胜6负。如果我们看一下净评分，翼队在这段时间的净评分是10.8(第二好)，而神秘队是-2.9。如果看一下地理位置，情况就大不相同了。在主场，达拉斯的净评分为8.4，而华盛顿的净评分为-10.8(倒数第三)。

在赛季的这个阶段，球队的状态和情绪都不同。今晚取胜的翼队在第四的位置会更安全一些，他们最近只输给过前三，而奇才正在被淹没。神秘队在过去的5场客场比赛中输掉了比赛，其中包括在达拉斯的一场比赛，当时翼队赢了17分。阿特金斯参加了那场比赛，得到了20分(最多)，但今晚她不能上场了。对于华盛顿来说，这可能是一个漫长的夜晚。
