Washington Mystics vs. Connecticut Sun Prediction
I’m on the Sun and the points. It’s an ugly game all things considered, but the Mystics have been so wildly inconsistent that it’s hard to get behind this team with any conviction. This line feels suspiciously tight for how poor the Sun have been thi season and I think the Sun could steal this one. Give me the Sun and the points.
