Washington Mystics vs. New York Liberty Prediction

I’m on the Mystics and the points here. The Liberty and laying double digits just does not go together like oil and water, and while I’ve been big on fading the Mystics in recent games, I think that the value is on Washington and the points in a game that I wouldn’t be surprised if the Liberty put up another clunker here.
