Washington Mystics vs. Las Vegas Aces Prediction

I’m backing the Aces here. I like this Mystics team a lot but I think this is just a bad matchup for them now that the Aces have come back with some sense of urgency following their recent performances. I think this is just a tricky spot for hte Mystics in a quick rematch and ultimately I look for Las Vegas to take care of business once again. Give me the Aces.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Las Vegas -5.5
