Chicago Sky vs Washington Mystics Prediction

The Mystics haven’t won a game yet this season, but this is a perfect chance for them to pick up the first one. The Mystics offense is going to find success here and I really don’t trust the Sky to make many stops here. The Sky aren’t going to have the best offensive game and that is going to be the difference here as the Mystics are going to get the job done. Back the Mystics against the spread here.
