What to watch for
After a long offseason, the Mystics are back in action for 2024. There is no doubt that they are rebuilding after Elena Delle Donne decided to sit the season out and Natasha Cloud decided to move onto the Phoenix Mercury. That said, it will be interesting to see how the Mystics’ core of Ariel Atkins, Brittney Sykes, and possibly Austin do in limited minutes tonight.
The Dream will play a roster that features some star talent and familiar faces. While Rhyne Howard still remains their young star of the future, Former Mystics players Tina Charles and Aerial Powers are now playing for the Dream. Also, Jordin Canada signed with them to bolster their point guard position.
Another player to look out for is Aaliyah Edwards, who will make her professional appearance. It will be fun to see how her rebounding and scoring go against a higher level of competition.
