Randy’s Free Pick

The Washington Mystics are obviously the better team here and should be favored, but like I said yesterday, they’re also a team that allows teams to hang around. The Mystics last 2 games have been decided by a combined 3 points, and I don’t expect a ton of energy after playing a nail biter last night. The Minnesota Lynx don’t play a ton of defense and could get smoked, but this is a lot of points for a team that has a rest advantage. Give me the Lynx.
