DAL vs WAS Dream11 Prediction WNBA Live Fantasy Basketball Dream11 Team, Top Picks and Tips for Dallas Wings vs Washington Mystics

DAL vs WAS Dream11: The WNBA is just a few days away from the Playoffs window and we have had another remarkable season as the reach of the league continues to grow in all spheres. There is a long way to go but even now, there is a substantial audience that follows the league around the globe. The quality of players has been astounding for around 25 years since the inception of the league. In this game, the quality will be on full display as Dallas Wings and Washington Mystics clash.

The Wings have again been a so-so team, there are moments of brilliance but the overall structure remains questionable. They have won 12 games and have compiled 15 losses, winning half of their 6 games. In their last game, they won 96:86 against the Indiana Fevers as Arike Ogunbowale boosted 22 points.

Meanwhile, the Washington Mystics are a much-improved team compared to last season, boasting of an elite defense. They have won 17 games and lost 11 games, winning six of their last eight games. They defeated the Liberty 78:69 in the last game as Elena Della-Donne put up 25 points.

These two teams last met in May as the Mystics defeated the Wings 84;68. The series is leveled at 1-1.

WNBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Wings: Shooting woes, defensive concerns

The Wings have a huge issue with their shot selection and they can end up taking tough shots, which emanates from Arike Ogunbowale. Their defense also has fallen with each month as they allow teams to shoot 45.5% which is the third worst in the league. Their inside defense is especially vulnerable while the perimeter defense is much better.

Arike is having another fantastic season and has the ability to single-handedly win games but that doesn’t happen enough. The inside positions are not up-to-the-mark and Isabelle Harrison didn’t follow up on her hot start whereas Satou Sabally has been injured a lot. Marina Mabrey started in a scintillating fashion but has been off since injury, while Allisha Gray continues to be a big part. Teaira McCowan has given solid minutes but the defensive integrity has been questionable.

Mystics need Elena

The Mystics season can be summed up by the fact that they have won 14 and lost 5 with Elena Della-Donne, whereas they have a three wins and 6 losses record without her. Simply, they need Elena as she is their most consistent offensive player and brings tremendous leadership to the floor. A proven winner who can clinch the momentum on both ends.

The Mystics are an elite defensive squad but their offense has been highly inconsistent especially when Elena is not playing. The backcourt of Natasha Cloud and Ariel Atkins has misfired too much, especially Cloud whereas the Forward rotations and the frontline rotations are still indecisive. The Mystics still look touch short of being a championship team.
