Washington Mystics vs. Minnesota Lynx Prediction

I’m on the Lynx here. I don’t think that a change of venue is enough to justify this kind of line move, and the Lynx have been the far better team up to this point in the year. The run the Mystics are on is a nice story, but I don’t think it’s sustainable. I’ll back Minnesota in this one.
