Mystics vs Fever Prediction
The Fever continues to get these inflated lines but has yet to produce. The Fever don’t play defense; they’ve lost 3 of their last 4 games overall, and they’re 1-3 SU on the road. The Fever have gotten fat and happy on constant home games, but it’s been ugly on the road. The Mystics aren’t lighting the world on fire, but they compete and have been kind to us over the years as an underdog. In fact, the Mystics have covered 7 of their last 10 games as an underdog. The Mystics also beat the Fever already this season on the road. Give me the points.
