Dallas Wings (18-10) at Washington Mystics (15-12) — Game Preview
The Dallas Wings (18-10) visit the Washington Mystics (15-12) at CareFirst Arena on July 31, 2026 with playoff positioning on the line for both sides. Dallas brings the league’s more prolific offense into the building, averaging 89.9 points per game to Washington’s 81.2, though the Mystics counter with the better work on the glass at 37.1 rebounds per game against the Wings’ 34.0. Paige Bueckers leads the Dallas attack at 20.7 points and 6.2 assists per game, shooting 51.4% from the floor and 84.4% at the line, and she’s the focal point Washington’s defense has to account for all night.

Jessica Shepard — F. Shepard controls the boards for Dallas, pulling down 12.1 rebounds per game with 8.7 coming on the defensive glass and 3.4 on the offensive end.

Washington Mystics
