Washington Mystics vs Seattle Storm Prediction
The Seattle Storm are the better team on paper, but they’re also 0-2 on the season, with two losses to the Lynx in games they were favored to win. The Storm haven’t looked great at either end of the floor, and the offense is shooting poor from the field. I need to see the Storm do something before I just start throwing out these sorts of numbers, especially on the road. The Washington Mystics aren’t lighting the world on fire in their own right, but they also played two title contenders in the Sun and Liberty. This game should give us a better idea of the Mystics. Give me the Mystics and the free points.
