New York Liberty vs Washington Mystics Prediction

I don’t trust the Mystics offense and they are going to really struggle to get going here. The Liberty overall is giving up 76.6 points per game are going to lockdown in this game. The Mystics are going to go well over under their season average of 79.2 points per game. The Liberty are going to get another big game from Breanna Stteart and they are going to cruise to the victory. Back the Liberty against the spread.
