Randy’s Pick
Massive line but probably for good reason. The Washington Mystics are falling apart before our eyes, they’re banged up, and they’ve been a mess on the road all season long. The Las Vegas Aces are comfortably the best team in the league, and they’re covering numbers with these wins despite being big favorites in most of them. I’d probably stay away from this game personally, but if forced to pick, I’d have to back the Aces in a blowout home victory over a Mystics side that’s free-falling.
