Washington Mystics vs. New York Liberty Prediction

I’m on the Liberty here. Normally laying double digits with New York this season would be a death sentence, but the thing here is that they’re still playing for something, as they need to win out to have any hope of stealing home court and the 4-seed. The Mystics are just playing out the string at this point, and have shown little fight in a lot of their recent games. Give me New York here in a blowout.
