Washington Mystics vs. Indiana Fever Prediction
I’m on the over in this game. The Mystics have been able to perform well even with Sonia Citron popping up on the injury report in recent games and I think they can show up and put up points here against a Fever team that’s known for playing in high-scoring games. I think this ends up being a bit of a track meet, so give me the over here.
