Fever vs Mystics Players To Watch

The Indiana fever will be leaning on Aliyah Boston who had been a dominant player with 17 points 9 rebounds per game this season. Her presence is likely going to make up for Clark's absence. Where as the Mystics will be looking forward to Brittney Sykes for offence with her leadership and experience to make the team thrive on Tuesday night.

Aliyah Boston (Fever)

Aliyah Boston isn’t just a rising star, she’s a numbers-backed centerpiece for Indiana’s offense. So far in 2025, she’s averaging 19.0 points, 13.0 rebounds, and 6.0 blocks in her only game played this season which is an absolute statement performance. Her impact goes beyond raw stats, she's already controlling the paint and dictating tempo for the Fever, making her a strong betting option in props involving points, rebounds, or double-doubles.

Looking at her 2023 season, Boston averaged 14.5 points, 8.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.3 steals, and 1.3 blocks per game while shooting a scorching 57.8% from the field. That efficiency is elite, especially for a center, and it's backed by 40 games of consistent output. Her 2024 campaign saw minor dips due to usage shifts but still remained solid with 12.0 PPG, 6.7 RPG, and 1.0 BPG.

Bettors should also know that Boston rarely turns the ball over and tends to perform well against teams lacking interior depth, exactly the scenario facing the Mystics, who are without a key post defender. If she repeats anything close to her 19-point, 13-rebound, 6-block opener, she’s a game-changer for Indiana and a reliable bet to outperform her matchup.

Sonia Citron (Mystics)

Sonia Citron is already flashing the kind of all-around game that turns heads in the WNBA, and the Washington Mystics may have found a key backcourt weapon. Through her first two career games in 2025, the rookie guard is averaging 17.0 points, 2.5 assists, and 1.5 rebounds per game while shooting an elite 64.7% from the field and 40% from three. That kind of efficiency from a guard, especially one just stepping into the pro game is eye catching and signals real scoring versatility.

Moreover, Citron is doing this in under 24 minutes per game, showing that she’s making the most of her time on the floor. She’s already contributing on both ends, adding 1.0 steal and 0.5 blocks per game. With just 1.0 turnover per contest, Citron is keeping things clean while still attacking the basket. Her .833 free throw percentage only further reinforces her scoring reliability.

While it's still early, Citron’s poise and polish suggest she could be a strong bet in props markets involving points or threes made, especially against teams with shaky perimeter defense. If she maintains this level of efficiency, she won’t just be a role player, she’ll be a difference-maker for the Mystics’ offense all season long.

Fever vs Mystics Prediction: Who will win?

The Indiana Fever return to Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Tuesday night desperate to break out of their early-season slump, and the matchup might finally be in their favor. Despite their losing streak, there were signs of real growth, especially from Aliyah Boston, who put on a show with 17 points on 80% shooting and eight assists. At 2–4, the record doesn’t reflect how competitive Indiana has been. Three of those losses came down to the final minutes, and with Boston in rhythm and Kelsey Mitchell starting to heat up, the Fever look far more intimidating than their record suggests.

The Washington Mystics, meanwhile, are facing serious issues. They're 3–4, but coming off a brutal 85–63 loss to the New York Liberty. Without Georgia Amoore and Bernadett Határ being out for the season, they’ve lost structure on both ends of the court. Brittney Sykes continues to lead the charge, scoring 20 points last game, but her 27.8% shooting is a major concern. Rookie Kiki Iriafen is a bright spot, but the Mystics lack offensive rhythm and struggle to defend consistently. In contrast, Indiana’s offense is improving and they’ve shown they can hang tough with top-tier teams, even if they haven't yet closed the deal. Looking at the bigger picture like home-court advantage, momentum, and health all swing toward Indiana. The Fever may be young, but they’ve been tested, and they’re showing signs of a team that’s about to turn the corner. Washington is short-handed and inconsistent, and unless they suddenly catch fire, they’ll likely have trouble keeping up with Indiana’s pace and inside strength.

Prediction

The Indiana Fever are favored by 3 points to edge out the Mystics with a projected score line of 79–76. Indiana Fever has a chance to win, not because they’re perfect, but because right now, they’re simply the more complete team.

Fever vs Mystics Betting Odds

The Indiana Fever will enter Tuesday’s matchup as the betting favorites, fueled by Aliyah Boston’s stellar form and a Mystics squad missing key players. Boston is coming off a near-flawless shooting night and has become the steady heartbeat of Indiana’s offense. If she controls the paint early and gets support from Mitchell and Smith, the Fever should be able to dictate tempo and grind out a win at home. However, the Mystics, led by the aggressive but streaky Brittney Sykes, aren’t out of the equation. If Sykes catches fire and Indiana falters late, as they’ve done in tight games this season. Washington could capitalize and steal one on the road. With both teams hungry to build momentum, expect a scrappy, possession-driven battle.

Odds: Indiana Fever -3.5
Over/Under: 161.5
Moneyline: Fever -165 | Mystics +140
