Washington Mystics vs Dallas Wings Prediction
I will take my points with the Mystics here. The Mystics have their issues no doubt, but so does the Seattle Storm. The Dallas defense in the last game was a major issue and they are going to really struggle here. Look for Washington to run up the score, and that is going to be the difference here as the Mystics are going to find success here. They might not win, but they are going to cover the spread. Back the Mystics against the spread.
