Washington Mystics vs. Minnesota Lynx Prediction
I’m on the Lynx here. I think that the Mystics are still riding high and have a bit of a big head after their win over the Liberty, but the Lynx are just another animal. The Liberty fail to deliver as double-digit chalk, but that’s all the Lynx seem to do in fairness and I think Minnesota at home takes care of business again. Give me the Lynx.
