| WNBA Preview: Washington Mystics vs. Chicago Sky |
The best place to wager on the WNBA is the online sportsbook BetPhoenix. Frequent losses and a growing list of injuries have been equally frustrating for the Washington Mystics. The club may not have leading scorer Crystal Langhorne in the lineup Tuesday night when it visits the Chicago Sky, who have also struggled of late. Langhorne, averaging 18.1 points, sat out a 73-63 loss to Seattle on Sunday due to back pain after she played through discomfort and scored 23 points in an 83-63 win over Tulsa on June 26. It was the first game the center has missed in her four-year career, and she is unsure if the injury will allow her to play against Chicago. The Mystics (2-6) were the top seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs in 2010, but they’ve lost five of six and have been without injured stars Alana Beard and Monique Currie for the entire season. Nicky Anosike scored 11 points but shot 3 for 14 from the field Sunday, while the depleted bench - consisting of three rookies and second-year forward Joy Cheek - totaled one point and shot 0 for 8. “I’ve never in my life have had to deal with so many injuries in such a short period of time,” Anosike said. “It’s hard, but what can we do? We can’t sit around and feel sorry for ourselves. The other teams don’t care.” Washington’s slump began with an 84-77 loss to the Sky on June 11 in the teams’ only meeting this season. Matee Ajavon, the Mystics’ second-leading scorer behind Langhorne at 15.9 points per game, scored a season high-tying 24. Ajavon, who has started all eight games after starting six in her previous three seasons combined, is making the most of her increased playing time with Beard and Currie sidelined. She had never averaged more than 8.0 points prior to this season. Chicago’s Sylvia Fowles scored 23 points in the victory over Washington, while Epiphanny Prince added 20 as the Sky shot 60 percent and never trailed. Catherine Kraayeveld had 19 points and a career-high six 3-pointers. The Sky (4-6) have dropped five of seven since that win, most recently falling 97-84 to Phoenix on Friday for their third straight defeat. Fowles was limited to 21 minutes due to foul trouble and scored 12 points - 8.7 fewer than her average. “The few minutes that Sylvia was able to play because of the 30 or so fouls called on us and the 45 free throws shot, she managed to get 12 points in that short amount of time,” coach Pokey Chatman told the team’s official website. “She just wasn’t on the court enough.” Prince scored 19 points and added six assists. The second-year guard ranks eighth in the league with 17.5 points per game. Chicago has won three straight against Washington. Washington really needs this win so early in the season and the take down the sky and win without the points. Play on the Washington Mystics +7
