Washington Mystics vs. Minnesota Lynx Prediction

I’m on the Lynx here. I get the case for an underdog at some point, but the Mystics just traded away their top scorer in Brittany Sykes, and this was a team that was inconsistent at best with Sykes. The Lynx showed me a lot, winning on the road at Seattle without Collier, and I think the Lynx can use their defense to get the job done here. I’ll roll with the Minnesota Lynx in this one.
