The Mercury are the stronger team compared to the Mystics, and they showed their strength in a recent win against the Atlanta Dream, a team that, like Washington, is in a critical battle for the No. 8 playoff spot. Phoenix can outperform Washington with its superior players and the advantage of playing at home.
The Mystics, however, are in greater need of a victory, as their playoff hopes are on the line. While Phoenix is focused on catching Indiana for the No. 6 seed, Washington is fighting to stay alive in the playoff race. The Mystics' situation is much more urgent. Although Phoenix may prefer facing the Connecticut Sun rather than the Minnesota Lynx in the playoffs, with both teams tied for second place, the Mercury can’t be certain whether the No. 6 or 7 seed will offer a better path forward.
