**Summary:**
The WNBA has an interesting Tuesday slate of games. First, the Washington Mystics, who are strong at home, host the struggling Chicago Sky in a “Camp Day Game” at EagleBank Arena. Washington is favored. Later, the New York Liberty, fresh off a May win against the Las Vegas Aces, will try to make it two for two this season against them on ESPN. Betting expert Peter Dewey is recommending a bet on the Mystics to cover the spread and a player prop bet on Sabrina Ionescu to hit over 2.5 three-pointers. He notes Ionescu’s increased 3-point production recently, especially with Jonquel Jones out, and the Aces’ vulnerability to opponent 3-point shooting.

**Mystics Host Sky in “Camp Day” Matinee; Liberty Seek Series Lead Against Aces**
**FAIRFAX, VA & NEW YORK, NY –** WNBA fans have a compelling day of action ahead, highlighted by a unique morning matchup and a primetime showdown between championship contenders.
The Washington Mystics (5-3 at home this season) will host the Chicago Sky at 11:30 a.m. EST at EagleBank Arena in Fairfax, VA for their annual “Camp Day Game.” The Mystics are favored to win against the Sky, who are struggling this season.
Later in the evening, the New York Liberty will look to extend their winning streak against the reigning champion Las Vegas Aces. The Liberty previously defeated the Aces by 14 points in May and will aim for a 2-0 season record against their rivals. The game will be broadcast nationally on ESPN.
Sports Illustrated betting analyst Peter Dewey is recommending a wager on the Mystics to cover the point spread. He highlights Washington’s strong home record and Chicago’s struggles against Eastern Conference opponents.
Dewey is also targeting a player prop bet, advising wagers on New York Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu to make over 2.5 three-pointers. Ionescu has been on a hot streak from beyond the arc recently and will likely see increased offensive opportunities with Jonquel Jones sidelined. The Aces rank 10th in opponent 3-point percentage, potentially creating favorable matchups for Ionescu.
