Laney-Hamilton should be ready to play against the Aces.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Aces: Chelsea Gray, Jackie Young, A\u2019ja Wilson, Cheyenne Parker-Tyus all missed Las Vegas\u2019 game on Sunday. The first three sat for rest, so it\u2019s likely they\u2019ll be back in action tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The Mystics are going on the road, on their West Coast trip, and they are cruisin\u2019!<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">They\u2019re on a seven-game winning streak, by far their best stretch of the last six years. They just beat the Mercury, the Dream, the Wings (twice), and the Aces in a D.C. nail-biter a couple weeks ago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">They now face the tough Aces for consecutive games in Las Vegas Tuesday and Thursday. This will be a moment of either relaxing and letting go of the rope, or pushing ahead to stun the rest of the WNBA and climb ever further up the rankings \u2014 the Mystics would have the fifth seed in the playoffs if the regular season ended today.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The Aces are interested in getting their revenge for that tough loss a couple weeks ago, 100-99 back in D.C.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">This will be a must-watch one!
