Mystics vs Wings Prediction
It might be time to admit the Mystics are good and should be getting more respect from oddsmakers. We know the Mystics have been an automatic bet over the years as an underdog. The Mystics have covered 5 straight games overall, and that includes just beating the Wings at home last week. The Mystics have a size edge over the Wings and can bully them down low. The Wings have been shaky over the last two weeks. It wouldn’t shock me if the Mystics won this game outright, but I’ll grab the points with them yet again.
