Connecticut Sun vs. Washington Mystics Prediction

I’m on the Sun and the points here. I get the case to be made for the Mystics at home as the Sun are still just a one win team on the road this season, but the Sun have been really good at covering numbers as of late. I’m just not in a position where I want to be laying points with the Mystics, and I think that Washington could easily win this game, but I don’t love them from a cover perspective. Give me the Sun and the points here.
