Aces vs Mystics Prediction
The Aces are going to get the benefit of the doubt because they’re the Aces. However, we’ve been on the Mystics a lot this season and continue to cash. The Mystics have covered 9 of their last 10 games and their 63.3 percent cover percentage is the best in the WNBA. I continue to say the Mystics are a good team, and they’ve been on a tear since playing through their bigs, which is the strength of this group. They have waves of size who dominate the paint at both ends. This is a step up in class, and the Aces should be favoured, but I’ll grab the points with the Mystics.
