Sky vs Mystics Live Stream & Score Updates: Chicago Sky Clash with Washington Mystics in Crucial WNBA Showdown

The Chicago Sky and Washington Mystics square off tonight, Tuesday, July 29, 2025, at 7:30 p.m. ET inside CareFirst Arena in Washington, D.C. The matchup airs on Monumental Sports Network locally, streams on WNBA League Pass nationwide and can be heard on WMAL 105.9 FM for D.C. listeners. Why the game matters • Playoff positioning: Washington (12-13) enters one game behind Atlanta for the East’s No. 4 seed, while Chicago (7-18) is trying to halt a five-game skid and stay mathematically alive. • Rookie spotlight: Angel Reese returns after clearing the concussion protocol, giving the Sky a needed scoring punch and elite rebounding on the interior. • Front-court duel: Shakira Austin, who iced the July 8 thriller with two free throws, is averaging 15.2 points and 8.7 boards over her last six and anchors a Mystics defense that ranks top-three in opponent FG% at home. Key injuries & roster notes • Chicago guard Hailey Van Lith (ankle) has been ruled out, while forward Michaela Onyenwere is available off the bench. • Washington remains without Kristi Toliver (knee) but expects rookie Sevgi Uzun to debut Friday, not tonight. Stat trends to watch 1. Second-chance points: Reese and Elizabeth Williams lead a Sky unit that grabs 32.5 % of its own misses (2nd in WNBA). The Mystics surrender just 9.8 offensive boards per game (4th fewest). 2. Turnovers: Chicago coughs it up 16.1 times per contest, fueling Washington’s 14.5 fast-break points per night at home. 3. Three-point variance: The Mystics launch the league’s third-most threes (28.4 attempts), but the Sky hold opponents to 33 % from deep, thanks to perimeter length from Marina Mabrey and Diamond DeShields. Betting outlook Oddsmakers list Washington as a 6.5-point favorite with a game total of 162.5. Chicago is 4-1 against the spread in its last five road games, while the Mystics have cashed the under in seven of their past nine at home. Prediction If Reese controls the glass and Mabrey heats up early, the Sky can extend possessions and keep it close. However, Washington’s balanced scoring—featuring Austin, Ariel Atkins and Elena Delle Donne—and its edge in ball security should prevail late. Mystics 83, Sky 77.
