Here's the latest Fever vs. Mystics game preview with the point spread, over/under, start time, Tv Channels and ways to watch the matchup live streaming online.

WNBA game preview

In the latest WNBA standings update, the Indiana Fever (9-18) are sitting in 11th place overall and two games behind the final team in the playoff standings, the Chicago Sky.

However, the Atlanta Dream and Seattle Storm are also fighting above the Fever for that eighth spot. The Fever are coming off an 81-76 loss at the New York Liberty and have gone just 2-8 over their past 10 games. Among the bright spots was a win on their home court 84-82 against the Minnesota Lynx, two games ago. Candice Dupree led the way with 31 points but can she help boost her team to a necessary winning streak with the season approaching its end?

The Washington Mystics are currently fourth in the overall WNBA standings. They trail the Connecticut Sun by one game and will try to gain ground on the Eastern Conference standings leaders with a win today. Washington is coming off a win as they defeated Phoenix 85-80 last Sunday thanks to 20 points from Kristi Tolliver.

The Mystics have defeated Indiana in two matchups this season by an average of 16 points and will try to capitalize on that success Saturday night. They'll also look to continue to win without top star Elena Delle Donne who is recovering from thumb surgery.

The sportsbooks have the Washington Mystics as eight or 8.5-point favorites on the spread, while their moneyline price is around -400.

The underdog Indiana Fever are priced at +300 to +380 depending on the book, while the over/under is around 155 points for the game. In terms of head-to-head meetings, Washington owns a dominant 7-3 record over the two teams' last 10 games played.
