Washington Mystics vs. New York Liberty Prediction
I’m leaning towards the Liberty here. I really want to fade the Liberty as a double-digit favorite as they’re just 2-13 ATS as a double-digit favorite in their last 15 in this spot, but they just drilled the Mystics in the last matchup and now get a game against the Mystics in a normal regular season spot in a situation where the Mystics are extremely banged up and could miss key pieces like Shakira Austin and Kiki Iriafen. I think this is just a bad spot for the Mystics so give me the Liberty to extend their dominance over Washington with a win and cover here.
