The Washington Mystics (14-18) face the Indiana Fever (18-15) in a WNBA game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Friday, August 15, 2025, at 7:30 PM EDT. The betting odds favor Indiana by 8.5 points, with the over/under set at 162.5 points.

The Mystics enter the game seeking to rebound from an 88-83 loss to the Golden State Valkyries. Their top performers are Sonia Citron (14.3 PPG, 4.6 RPG, 2.2 APG), Kiki Iriafen (12.1 PPG, 8.2 RPG), and Shakira Austin (12.5 PPG, 6.7 RPG). As a team, Washington averages 78.3 PPG on 43.4% shooting from the field.

The Fever aim to recover from an 81-80 upset loss to the Dallas Wings. Key players include Kelsey Mitchell (19.9 PPG, 3.2 APG), the injured Caitlin Clark (16.5 PPG, 5 RPG, 8.8 APG - out), Aliyah Boston (15.1 PPG, 8.3 RPG, 3.7 APG), and Natasha Howard (11.5 PPG, 6.7 RPG). Indiana averages 84.7 PPG on 44.7% shooting.

The prediction strongly favors the Fever to win and cover the -8.5 point spread. The reasoning cites Indiana's superior overall quality and depth, which has developed even without Clark, contrasted against a Washington team perceived to have "mailed it in" after trading Brittany Sykes. The expectation is for Indiana to pull away in the second half at home.
