On Sunday, the Indiana Fever (22-20, 12-8 Eastern Conference) will travel to Washington to take on the struggling Mystics (16-26, 8-10 Eastern Conference) in a crucial Eastern Conference matchup. The Mystics are currently in the midst of a 4-game home losing skid and will be seeking to turn things around against the playoff-bound Fever.
The Fever have been led by the strong play of Aliyah Boston, who ranks third in the Eastern Conference with 8.9 offensive rebounds per game. Meanwhile, the Mystics have been paced by Sonia Citron, who has averaged 15.4 points over the team's last 10 games.
