Washington Mystics vs. Indiana Fever Prediction

I’m on the Mystics and the points here. It feels like a clash of styles here with the lower-scoring Mystics against the high-flying Fever, but I think that Washington has a significant edge in rebounding that could loom large here. The Mystics are no joke and I think at this number, they’re worth taking a shot on so give me the Mystics in this one.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Washington +7.5
