Mystics vs Tempo Prediction
I like the Mystics more in the underdog role, where they’ve been kind to us over the years. The Mystics aren’t as effective in the favorite role, and they’re 1-3 SU at home. Also, the Tempo have quietly won 4 of their last 5 games and are getting Fagbenle back. The status of Sabally is huge, as the Tempo will be as healthy as it’s been in a while if she’s good to go. The Tempo have won 3 games on the road as well, and this is a revenge spot after losing a tight one to the Mystics a month ago. The Tempo is capable of winning this game outright. I’ll grab the free bucket.
