6 p.m. at Washington • No TV, 106.1-FM
Preview: The Lynx (7-0) are playing for only the second time in 12 days, while the Eastern Conference-leading Mystics (6-2) are playing their third game of the week.

G Tayler Hill, a Minneapolis native, is averaging 15.1 points per game for the Mystics.
Numbers: A 24-point loss (87-63) in Washington last June was the worst loss of the 2016 regular-season for the Lynx.
Injuries: Mystics G Natsha Cloud (knee) is probable, while Mystics C Emma Meesseman is out indefinitely because of personal reasons.
