The Fever are 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 road games and 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The Mystics are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 vs. Eastern Conference and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall. The under is 9-4 in Fever last 13 road games. The under is 4-1 in Mystics last 5 overall. The Fever are 1-3-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Washington.
The Washington Mystics don't have a ton to play for in this spot, as they've clinched a playoff spot already and are going to settle for a middle seed. However, the Indiana Fever continue to pile up the losses, and they're not covering numbers despite being big underdogs in all of these games. It's not a pretty line, but the Fever are a tough sell given what we've seen over the last 2 months. I want nothing to do with the Fever, a team that's been an automatic fade for a while now. Give me the Mystics.
