The Mystics will be without Georgia Amoore due to an ACL injury.

Sky vs Mystics Prediction

I love the Mystics more in the underdog role than as a favorite, but there’s no backing the Sky with confidence. The Sky are banged up, and they’ve not only lost eight straight games, but they’ve failed to cover each one of those games. The Sky haven’t cashed a ticket since July 12. The Mystics have some recent bad losses and aren’t covering numbers in their own right, but this is a game they should take advantage of. No excuses. It’s Mystics or pass.
