What to watch for
- The Washington Mystics blew past the Dallas Wings on Saturday, cruising to a 97-69 victory behind a season-high 23 points from Emily Engstler. Engstler’s breakout performance came out of nowhere, for the 24-year-old forward had averaged less than three points per game prior to Saturday’s matchup with Dallas. Look for coach Eric Thibault to play through Engstler once more as Washington attempts to exploit that matchup.
- Dallas is reeling to begin this season, sitting at an abysmal 3-12 as the season nears its halfway point. The loss of Satou Sabally, who has yet to play this season, is a major reason for Dallas’ shortcomings.
- Dallas’ All-Star guard Arike Ogunbowale came into Saturday’s matchup with Washington averaging 25 points per game, good for second in the WNBA. However, in Saturday’s contest, the Mystics held Ogunbowale to just six points on 3-11 shooting. Look for Dallas to get their star player better looks in game two of this weekend’s doubleheader.
