Shane’s Free Pick
This is going to be a low scoring. The Mystics offense only managed 64 points in the last game and they are going to really struggle here. I also really dont’ trust the Mercury’s offense and they are going to really struggle to get the offense going here. Both of offenses are going to finish under 70 points and the under is going to cash here. This is one of my favorite plays on the entire board for Tuesday.
