Washington Mystics vs. Seattle Storm Prediction
I’m on the Mystics here. I get the case to be made for either side in this game, but I think I’d need to get a few more points with the Storm to consider them in this spot. Washington for me is just the better team that’s going to be a much better team on the glass in this matchup and I think that’s going to be the difference in this one. Give me the Mystics.
