New York Liberty vs. Washington Mystics Prediction

I’m on the Liberty here. The Liberty are the best team in the WNBA and show no signs of letting up and while the Liberty have had issues in the past in terms of winning rematches in quick succession, or at least covering numbers, the thing is that the Mystics just look like they have defensive issues right now. The Liberty just won the most recent meeting by 22 points and I think New York gets the job done here. Give me the Liberty.
