Mystics vs Liberty Betting Pick

This game will be played at Barclays Center at 7:00 PM ET on Thursday, June 16, 2022.

The Washington Mystics got off to a hot start this WNBA season, but have cooled down somewhat since. On the flip side, the New York Liberty got off to a dismal start but are working their way back up the WNBA standings. In our WNBA picks for Thursday night, we look at Mystics vs Liberty in what should be an interesting contest to see where both of these teams currently stand.

Why Bet The Liberty:

Right off the bat, the Mystics are not at 100% coming into this game, as Elena Delle Donne has been listed as out for this matchup. Delle Donne has had several pre-planned rest days set up throughout this season, and this appears to be one of them. Without her, the Liberty will have an easier time rebounding the basketball and will not have to defend one of the most dangerous scorers in the league.

The Liberty beat the Mystics once already this season, winning outright as a sizable underdog in Washington. Delle Donne did play in that game, while the Liberty were without DiDi Richards, who should be back for this contest for New York. Expect another tight game, and for the Liberty to cover win or lose like they did in the previous meeting.

The Liberty have bigs in Natasha Howard and Stefanie Dolson who should be able to limit one of the top rookies of this season in Shakira Austin. Austin had a huge game against the Phoenix Mercury earlier this week, but the Mercury are without their all-time great center in Brittney Griner right now. New York’s interior defense is more capable of disrupting her, which will make a big difference.

Washington Mystics

The Washington Mystics started this season winning five of their first six games, looking like one of the best teams in the WNBA. They have since cooled off, going 5-5 in their last 10 games, putting them in fifth place in the league standings heading into Thursday night’s games. Here, they look for revenge against a Liberty team that beat them earlier in the season.

While the Mystics will not have Elena Delle Donne for this game, they still have plenty of talent to get them through these contests. Ariel Atkins and Natasha Cloud are a dangerous guard duo, while Shakira Austin is likely second to Rhyne Howard in the Rookie of the Year discussion so far this season. Against a potent Liberty team, all three need to play at a high level to avoid a second straight upset loss at the hands of the Liberty.

New York Liberty

The New York Liberty have won four of their six games in the month of June, including one against these very Washington Mystics. It should be noted that the other three of those four wins game against lower tier competition in the Indiana Fever and Minnesota Lynx. But the Liberty did nearly beat the Chicago Sky at home on Sunday their last time out, and they will be well rested heading into this game.

Sabrina Ionescu is coming off of a triple-double in the last game for the Liberty, and she looks to be playing very confidently right now for New York. With Betnijah Laney still out of the lineup for the Liberty, look for Ionescu to continue to be aggressive both for herself and her teammates, as the Liberty look like they have turned a corner here in the regular season.
