Tempo vs. Mystics Prediction, Spread, Over/Under – Friday, June 12

Toronto’s first game in the WNBA came at home against Washington, suffering a 68-65 defeat. The Mystics held the Tempo to 27% shooting from the floor, by far their worst offensive performance of the season. 

Washington wasn’t much better, hitting 39% of its field goal attempts, including going 5-of-24 from 3-point range. That also marked the poorest offensive showing for the Mystics, who have been held to less than 70 points in one other game: a 92-69 setback at Dallas.

The Mystics erased a 17-point deficit to take a late lead against the Fever on Monday. Indiana G Caitlin Clark knocked down a game-winning 3-pointer at the buzzer to give the Fever a 78-76 win, but Washington covered as 5.5-point underdogs.

Mystics F Kiki Iriafen left the game after scoring 2 points in 8 minutes due to a sprained ankle. Iriafen, who averages 14.6 points per game (PPG), is questionable for tonight’s contest.

Washington drilled 9 of 18 attempts from downtown, its best 3-point performance of the season. However, the Mystics rank 13th in the league in 3-point shooting at 29.7%.

The Tempo rallied from a 14-point hole to shock the Sun, which was helped out by hitting 36 of 43 free throws. Toronto improved to 3-0 when converting 30+ foul shots.
