Washington Mystics vs. Atlanta Dream Prediction

I’m on the Mystics and the points here. This for me is ust the best ATS team in the WNBA in Washington against an Atlanta team that had their moments, but also had moments where they were incredibly overrated and overvalued and I thinkt his is a name brand line for Atlanta. Washington was undervalued for a lot of the season and while they were a fantastic home underdog, they’re a dangerous team to give points to in a spot like this so give me Washington and the points here.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Washington +6.5
