Game Info<\/strong><\/p>\n

When: <\/strong>Thursday, July 10 at 7:30 p.m. ET<\/p>\n

Where: <\/strong>Eaglebank Arena, Fairfax, VA<\/p>\n

How to Watch: <\/strong> Prime Video \/ Monumental<\/p>\n

Mystics: <\/strong>Georgia Amoore (Out)<\/p>\n

Aces:<\/strong> Megan Gustafson, Cheyenne Parker-Tyus (Out)<\/p>\n

The Mystics are playing well recently. They just beat the Chicago Sky in a nail-biter, and are now one game under .500 at 9-10.<\/p>\n

On the other side, the Las Vegas Aces are 9-9. <\/p>\n

Whoever wins this game will have a better record, and the Mystics will edge up in the standings with a victory. Moreover, with the season series at 1-1, whoever wins this one also will have a good chance at the tie-breaker (the fourth and last game is scheduled for late August).<\/p>\n

Shakira Austin and Brittney Sykes are playing well. Sonia Citron and Kiki Iriafen just got named All-Stars. A lot to be optimistic about if you are a Mystics fan.<\/p>\n

Optimism aside, this will be a tougher challenge than squeaking a win against the Chicago Sky at home. The Aces are a better team right now. The Mystics did have a great win almost two weeks ago against the Aces on the road. But they also lost to them back in May.<\/p>\n

Here are the highlights from the recent win, back in Vegas:<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Game Info When: Thursday, July 10 at 7:30 p.m. ET Where: Eaglebank Arena, Fairfax, VA How to Watch:…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":53864,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[22870,1708,10912,10913,204,4547,10914,5824,5039,4360,62,2450,67,132,68,232,4239,1706],"class_list":{"0":"post-53863","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wnba","8":"tag-aces","9":"tag-all-womens-sports","10":"tag-bullets","11":"tag-forever","12":"tag-front-page","13":"tag-mystics","14":"tag-mystics-game-preview","15":"tag-on","16":"tag-play","17":"tag-preview","18":"tag-sports","19":"tag-thursday","20":"tag-united-states","21":"tag-unitedstates","22":"tag-us","23":"tag-wnba","24":"tag-wnba-content","25":"tag-wnba-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114828454455891129","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53863","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53863"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53863\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/53864"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53863"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53863"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53863"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
