Storm vs Mystics Predictions
This game would be a slight tossup given the ups and downs from both teams. The Storm are trying to find any momentum they can get on the winning side of things. However, Washington’s quality seems to have the edge as big performances might be on the way to bounce back from their latest loss. Our betting pick here is for the Mystics to defend a 4.5-point spread.
