Las Vegas Aces vs. Washington Mystics Prediction
I’m on the Aces here. I get the case to be made for a home underdog in some spots, but the Mystics just look lost since dealing away Brittany Sykes at the deadline. The Aces look like the team that we expected to see pretty much the entire season and it’s just hard to feel good about Washington’s prospects in this matchup after getting beat up by the worst team in the WNBA with two straight double-digit losses to Connecticut. Give me the Aces here.
