Randy’s Pick

The Atlanta Dream should be big favorites because they’re playing their best ball of the season, and they’re at home. The Washington Mystics are falling apart due to injuries and poor play. With all that said, the Dream can throw in stinkers out of nowhere, and the Mystics are the better team when they’re both playing their best. The Mystics have played the Dream well in 2 meetings this season. An outright win by the Mystics wouldn’t be shocking. Give me the points.
