The Sun are 16-5 ATS in their last 21 Tuesday games, 6-2 ATS in their last 8 home games and 2-5-1 ATS in their last 8 vs. Eastern Conference. The over is 23-9 in Mystics last 32 overall.

The Washington Mystics aren’t the same team from last season that won the WNBA title, but they looked sharp offensively and were lighting it up against an experienced Fever squad. The Connecticut Sun couldn’t do anything against a Lynx team that’s not the same from past years. Based on the first game, I’ll lay the chalk with the Mystics.
