Washington Mystics vs. Las Vegas Aces Prediction

I’m on the Aces here. I know the Mystics are still a 2-1 team so far this season but I didn’t love how they fell apart against the Valkyries last time out and while the Mystics historically have covered big lines against the Aces, a lot of those covers came in Washington and the struggles that the Mystics had in this matchup came on the road. I think the Aces get the job done here and get the cover so I’ll lay the points here.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Las Vegas Aces -14.5
