Fever vs Mystics Prediction
The Fever should be favored as they’re an offensive juggernaut and have played their best ball at home. However, we’ve been on the Mystics a lot this season, especially as an underdog, and they’ve cashed 23 tickets. I keep saying that the Mystics are a good team, and oddsmakers just don’t believe me. Citron is back after missing her last game, and the Mystics have waves of bigs to throw at a smaller Fever lineup. Also, the two games this season between the Mystics and Fever were decided by a combined four points, with Washington winning one of them. The Mystics are even better now than they were back then. This should be a competitive game. Give me the points.
