New York Liberty vs. Washington Mystics Prediction

I’m on the Mystics and the points in this one. There haven’t been many true back-to-back spots this season and last year, the Liberty faced the Mystics on the second half of a back-to-back, and the Mystics went toe-to-toe with the Liberty and that was when the Mystics started the year 0-12. I think the Mystics are a much improved team since then and I think the Mystics cover here. Give me the Mystics and the points.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Washington Mystics +8.5
