The Washington Mystics (4-3) and Los Angeles Sparks (4-3) square off in SoCal, each looking to avoid falling to the .500 mark in Tuesday's standalone WNBA game.

These teams are building up a little bit of a rivalry after meeting in last season's playoffs. L.A. was embarrassed 96-64 in D.C. in a Round 2 playoff loss last season, so the Sparks will be looking for some revenge. After winning June 15, 2018, in the first regular-season game, the Mystics have won three straight meetings while going 2-1 ATS.
