Toronto Tempo vs. Washington Mystics Prediction

I’m on the under in this game. A true back-to-back for Toronto makes this a tough spot for their rest and against a Mystics team that’s solid defensively, I think Toronto has some issues scoring here, but on the other side, the Mystics aren’t known for lighting the scoreboards ablaze and I look for that to be the case here as well. Give me the under.
