The Mystics are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 vs. Western Conference, 1-5 ATS in their last 6 Tuesday games and 3-11-1 ATS in their last 15 games overall. The over is 11-4 in Lynx last 15 overall. The under is 4-1 in Mystics last 5 overall. The over is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings.
The Minnesota Lynx can get caught in tight contests due to a shaky offense and a grind it out style, but they’ve still had great success at covering numbers lately. The Washington Mystics are piling up the losses and failing to cover at an alarming rate. There’s no point in backing the Mystics until further notice. I’ll lay the chalk with the Lynx by no other choice.
