Indiana Fever vs Washington Mystics

Indiana Fever vs. Washington Mystics: WNBA Showdown Preview

On Tuesday, June 3, the Indiana Fever (2-4) will face off against the Washington Mystics (3-4) in a highly anticipated WNBA regular-season clash. Currently, the Fever sit in ninth place, while the Mystics hold the seventh spot—just two positions ahead. With Caitlin Clark sidelined, can Indiana pull off a victory, or will Washington deliver another upset? Below, we break down the key predictions, including totals, spreads, and player props.

Indiana Fever: Seeking Redemption After Heartbreaking Loss

The Fever are coming off a tough two-point defeat against the Connecticut Sun, a game that went down to the wire. Indiana kept it close, trailing by just one point with under two minutes left. A last-second mid-range jumper from Kelsey Mitchell could have tied or won the game, but it rimmed out, sealing their fate.

Aliyah Boston stepped up in Clark’s absence, leading the team with 17 points and 8 assists, but Mitchell struggled, shooting just 4/15. Shockingly, this marks Indiana’s third loss by two points or fewer and their fourth by six points or less—meaning they could easily be 5-1 right now with slightly better execution.

Washington Mystics: Inconsistent but Dangerous

Meanwhile, the Mystics are coming off a brutal 22-point loss to the defending champion New York Liberty. It’s their fourth defeat in five games, with their only recent win coming against—you guessed it—the Fever (83-77).

Brittney Sykes has been phenomenal, averaging over 20 points per game, while rookies Sonia Citron and Kiki Iriafen have combined for 28 PPG. However, Washington’s offense has major struggles beyond these three, especially with Shakira Austin and Aliyah Edwards sidelined due to injuries.

Final Thoughts

This matchup could be another tight battle for Indiana. The Fever must stay sharp against a Washington squad that already beat them once this season. Will they avenge their earlier loss, or will the Mystics prove to be their kryptonite once again? Tune in to find out!
