The 2025 WNBA season is underway with some great matchups occurring. In our Liberty vs Mystics WNBA pick, New York will put their unbeaten record to the test as they seek to continue their path of domination.

Liberty Start at Record Pace

New York improved to 7-0 following their domination over the Sun. Though they remain locked with the similarly unbeaten Lynx atop the standings, the Liberty have been the best team statistically. They hold a +20.6 point differential through seven games, exerting their will as the defending champions. On the other hand, the Liberty have also benefited from an easier schedule, and are yet to face the other top-4 teams.

Mystics Looks to Start Meshing

Washington got off to a strong 2-0 start but have since lost five of their last six games. Most recently, they failed to topple a Fever team that was without Caitlin Clark. While the Mystics, led by rookies Kiki Iriafen and Sonia Citron, have flashed signs of their potential, they’ve struggled to find consistency. They’ll be putting everything they have to the test in this game against the dominant Liberty. A win would be huge.

New York Liberty vs Washington Mystics WNBA Pick

Washington enters this game as a large underdog, despite being at home. I’m tempted to give them the benefit of the doubt to cover at home, but New York has dominated almost every team they’ve faced thus far. This one could stay close early, but the Liberty should ultimately run away with the win by at least 15.
