Washington Mystics vs. Connecticut Sun Prediction

I’m on the Sun here. I know it’s hard to sweep a back-to-back/home and home at the best of times, especially when you’re one of the worst teams in the WNBA. However, Washington for me is just a team that’s living on borrowed time, while the Sun have been competitive in the underdog role. Granted, a lot of times we’re getting more points with the Sun but I think the line is this tight for a reason. Give me the Sun and the free bucket here.
