Indiana Fever vs. Washington Mystics Prediction

I’m looking at the Mystics here. I get the case to be made for the Fever, as Caitlin Clark is expected to miss this game, and the Fever still have a really solid and well-coached team that is capable of filling the void. The problem is it’s a massive void to have to fill, and the Mystics were a great cover team in the underdog role last season. Even with Clark in the lineup, the Fever have still had frailties on the defensive end of the floor this season and catching points with the Mystics at home is where I want to be here. Give me Washington and the points.
