The under is 12-4 in Mystics last 16 vs. Eastern Conference. The over is 13-5-1 in Fever last 19 home games. The under is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings.
The Washington Mystics have been hit or miss these last couple of weeks, but they're still fighting for playoff seeding, so there's reason for them to get the job done here. The Indiana Fever haven't won a game in nearly 2 months, and they're not covering numbers despite being big underdogs nightly. I understand these numbers are steep, but there's no reason to back the Fever after what they've shown us time and time again. Give me the Mystics in a road blowout.
