Connecticut Sun vs. Washington Mystics Prediction
I’m on the Sun and the points here. I’ve learned this season that whenever I have expectation for the Mystics is when Washington has a tendency to let me down and I’m not falling for it here. The Sun are not a bad underdog in spots and I think they’re live to win this game as I wouldn’t be shocked if Washington put up another dud here. Give me Connecticut.
