Washington Mystics vs. Connecticut Sun Prediction
I’m leaning towards the Mystics here. I’m a bit concerned that the Mystics are treading into overvalued territory with people seeing how well they’ve been competing in recent games, but I’m also not buying into the Connecticut Sun after one single win against an equally bad Chicago Sky team. I think the Mystics can get on the Sun here and just hold down Connecticut for a full 4 quarters to get a road win and cover here. Give me Washington.
