Mystics vs Wings Prediction
The Mystics are a team we usually blindly back as an underdog, and it will be interesting to see how the Wings rebound from a heartbreaking loss to the Dream. The problem in this spot is that the Wings are simply the more talented team and I’d need more points to seriously look at the Mystics. When these teams met back in May, the Wings won 92-69. It’s fair to say the Wings are a more consistent, confident team at this stage of the season. Also, if the Wings are this sneaky little dark horse that’s gearing up for a deep playoff run, these are games they win. Get that nasty taste out of the mouth. We’ll learn a lot about the Wings tonight. I’ll lay the bucket.
