The WNBA playoff picture is becoming finalized in the final days of the regular season. The Washington Mystics, who had already clinched a playoff berth, will be locked into the No. 7 seed following their loss on Friday against the Atlanta Dream. Even so, just the fact that they got to the playoffs is an accomplishment in itself considering the amount of injuries they've sustained this season. They managed to stay afloat and in the playoff picture partly due to the career scoring season from Natasha Cloud. Even with the loss to the Dream, Natasha Cloud set a Mystics record for most assists in a single game as per Jenn Hatfield of The Next.

In the Mystics game against the Dream, Natasha Cloud finished with 15 assists. Cloud is one of the top combo guards in the WNBA capable of playing point guard and shooting guard. She was originally drafted by the Mystics with the No. 15 overall pick in the 2015 WNBA Draft. An eight-year veteran, Cloud has played her entire career so far in a Mystics jersey and was a key player during the 2019 championship run.

This season, Cloud has suited up in 35 games for the Mystics at a little over 32 minutes per game. She's been averaging a career-high 12.7 points per game, 3.6 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.0 steals with splits of 37.4 percent shooting from the field, 29 percent shooting from the three-point line and 89.5 percent shooting from the free-throw line.

Although the Mystics will be without Kristi Toliver for the playoffs, they still are a dangerous team and could provide a real challenge.
