Indiana Fever at Washington Mystics odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Indiana Fever at Washington Mystics odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Indiana Fever (20-19) and the Washington Mystics (13-26) meet Thursday in the regular-season finale at Capital One Arena in Washington D.C. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (Prime Video). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Dream vs. Liberty odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Fever lead 2-1

The Fever edged the lowly Dallas Wings 110-109 on Sunday, not coming close to covering as a 9.5-point favorite. Indiana has won just 2 of the past 5 games, while going 0-5-1 against the spread (ATS) in the past 6 outings. The Over is 6-2 across the previous 8 contests.

Washington is playing for the 8th and final seed in the playoffs, and it must get past Indiana to possibly make it. It is currently tied with the Chicago Sky, 1 game back of the Atlanta Dream. If 2 teams are tied for the final spot, the tiebreaker is head-to-head record. Washington is 2-2 against Atlanta, while going 3-1 against Chicago.

If all 3 teams are tied for the final spot, the determining factor is record against teams with a winning mark. As it stands, an Atlanta loss, and wins by both Chicago and Washington, would eliminate the Dream.

An Atlanta loss, Washington win and Chicago loss would result in a tie between the Dream and Mystics. Atlanta holds that tiebreaker due to a better record against teams of .500 or better, which is the 3-way tiebreaker.

The Mystics have won just once in the 3 regular-season meetings, but Washington took an 89-84 decision in Indianapolis on July 10 as a 7-point underdog as the Over (168) cashed.

Rookie Caitlin Clark had 29 points, 13 assists, 5 rebounds and 5 steals with 5 3-pointers in the most recent meeting July 10. She is averaging 25.7 PPG, 8.3 APG, 8.3 RPG and 4.3 SPG with 4.7 3PT per game in 3 meetings this season with Washington.

Fever at Mystics picks and predictions

Prediction

Mystics 86, Fever 81

Moneyline

WASHINGTON (-140) is playing for the 8th and final seed in the playoffs, and it must get past Indiana (+115) to do it. The Fever managed to hold off the Phoenix Mercury for the 6th seed, but they’re looking to build momentum heading into the playoffs.

The Mystics are at home, however, and that will help them get the job done, although it remains to be seen if they’ll qualify for the playoffs or not.

Against the spread

WASHINGTON -2.5 (-105) is worth playing lightly. The Mystics are 2-1 ATS in 3 meetings this season, while going 3-1 ATS in the past 4 home games against Indiana +2.5 (-115).

The Mystics are 5-2 ATS in the past 7 games, while going 9-3 ATS in the previous 12 outings, too. On the flip side, the Fever are 0-5-1 ATS in the previous 6 contests.

Over/Under

OVER 164.5 (-110) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most.

The Over has cashed at a 6-2 clip in the past 8 games for Indiana, and it has gone for triple digits in 4 of those outings.

While the Over seems like a slam-dunk play based on the info above, the Under is 5-0 in the past 5 games for Washington, while going 9-3 in the previous 12 outings, so be careful.

New York Liberty at Washington Mystics odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s New York Liberty at Washington Mystics odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The New York Liberty (31-7) and the Washington Mystics (13-25) meet Tuesday at St. Elizabeth East Entertainment and Sports Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (NBA TV). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Liberty vs. Mystics odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Liberty lead 3-0

The Liberty had a 5-game winning streak snapped Sunday at home against the Minnesota Lynx, 88-79, as New York failed to cover as a 5.5-point favorite. A win would have locked up the No. 1 overall seed in the playoffs, too. Still, New York leads Minnesota by 2 games with 2 to play, and it needs just 1 more victory to clinch the top spot.

The Mystics suffered a rough 76-73 loss in overtime in the 2nd end of a home-and-home series with the Atlanta Dream. It could have been a costly blow to their playoff chances, as they’re in a 3-way tie with the Atlanta Dream and Chicago Sky for the final postseason spot with 2 games to play. The problem is that Washington has to play the Liberty and Indiana Fever in the final 2 games.

Despite the loss and non-cover, Washington is still 7-3 straight up (SU) in the past 10 games, while going 9-2 against the spread (ATS) in the previous 11 tries. The Under is on a 4-0 run for the Mystics.

Against the spread: Liberty -9.5 (-115) | Mystics +9.5 (-105)
Over/Under (O/U): 161.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Liberty at Mystics picks and predictions

Prediction

Liberty 88, Mystics 81

Moneyline

New York (-450) will set you back 4 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not nearly enough reward.

Yes, the Liberty is still battling for the No. 1 overall seed, so there is plenty of motivation there. However, Washington (+340) is also fighting for their playoff lives, so expect desperation from the Mystics.

PASS, and look to the spread instead.

Against the spread

Play WASHINGTON +9.5 (-105) lightly, as it’s desperation mode in the nation’s capital. The Mystics can ill afford another loss if they want to keep playoff hopes alive.

While the Mystics haven’t been able to get a win in 3 tries with New York -8.5 (-115) this season, Washington has covered all 3 meetings, while going 8-1-1 ATS in the past 10 battles in this series.

Over/Under

OVER 161.5 (-110) is a strong play in Tuesday’s penultimate game for both WNBA squads.

The Over has cashed in 8 consecutive meetings in this series, with an average of 171.7 PPG in the 3 games this season. If these teams hit the averages from the previous 3 meetings, they’ll clear Monday’s total by 10 points.

The Over has cashed in 2 of the past 3 games for the Liberty. The Under is 4-0 in the past 4 games for the Mystics, but go with the head-to-head trends to trump that.

Atlanta Dream at Washington Mystics odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Atlanta Dream at Washington Mystics odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Atlanta Dream (12-25) and Washington Mystics (13-24) meet Sunday at Entertainment & Sports Arena in the 2nd end of a home-and-home set. Tip-off is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Dream vs. Mystics odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Mystics 2-1

The Mystics pulled into the 8th spot in the overall standings, temporarily occupying the final playoff spot with 3 games to play. Washington was tied with Atlanta in the standings, but it eased by the Dream 72-69 as a 4-point underdog on the road Friday in the front end of the home-and-home set to break that tie.

Washington shot 43.3% (26-of-60) from the field in Friday’s win while going 38.1% (8-of-21) from behind the arc. G Brittney Sykes led the way with 20 points on 7-of-13 shooting, including 3-of-3 from downtown.

On the flip side, Atlanta hit just 28.8% (21-of-73) from the field in Friday’s loss and a dismal 25.0% (5-of-20) from behind the arc. If not for a plus-8 rebounding margin for the Dream, the game might not have been as close.

Against the spread: Dream +1.5 (-120) | Mystics -1.5 (+100)
Over/Under (O/U): 152.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Dream at Mystics picks and predictions

Prediction

Mystics 75, Dream 69

Moneyline

It doesn’t make a lot of sense to bet Washington (-120) straight up if you like it, as it is cheaper to just lay the little bit of points. Unless you feel strongly that this is going to be a Mystics win, but only by one point, you should look to the spread instead.

The Mystics are playing much better basketball lately, going 7-2 across the past 9 outings since Aug. 23. For the Dream, they are on a 2-8 skid in the past 10 contests.

PASS.

Against the spread

While the road team has won 4 straight meetings in this series, including all 3 meetings this season, the MYSTICS -1.5 (+100) are a strong play at even-money as they look to deal the Dream +1.5 (-120) a big blow to their flickering playoff hopes.

The Mystics have covered 5 in a row, and 9 of the past 10 games, and there’s not much to dislike about Washington right now. It is playing some of the best basketball in all of the W, battling with urgency, which is more than can be said for Atlanta.

Over/Under

UNDER 152.5 (-110) is a strong play in the 2nd end of the home-and-home set. We had just 141 combined points on a total of 155 in Friday’s game in Hotlanta.

The Under has hit in 3 in a row for the Mystics, too, while going low in 7 of the past 10 outings. For the Dream, they’re on a 5-2 run to the Under in the past 7, while the total has gone low at a 12-5-1 clip in the past 18 outings.

Washington Mystics at Atlanta Dream odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Washington Mystics at Atlanta Dream odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Washington Mystics (12-24) and Atlanta Dream (12-24) meet Friday at Gateway Center Arena at College Park, Ga., in the front end of a home-and-home set. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (ION). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Mystics vs. Dream odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Tied 1-1

The Mystics and Dream are tied in the standings, 1 game behind the Chicago Sky as the 3 teams vie for the final playoff spot in the WNBA. While the loser of this game won’t necessarily be eliminated, it will be extremely tough to overcome a setback.

Washington made a statement Wednesday, winning 89-58 at Chicago as a 1-point favorite, while cashing the Under (162). It has won 6 of the past 8 games, while going 8-1 against the spread (ATS) in the previous 9 outings. The Under has cashed in the past 2 games, while going 6-3 in the past 9 contests.

Atlanta was tripped up 76-64 by the visiting Minnesota Lynx Tuesday as a 5-point ‘dog while the Under (155.5) cashed. The Dream have lost 7 of the past 9 games, while going 4-4-1 ATS in that span. The Under is on a 4-2 run.

The road team has won both meetings this season, with Washington routing Atlanta 87-68 in the most recent meeting in Georgia back on June 11, cashing as a 6.5-point underdog as the Under (156.5) hit. The Dream won 73-67 in D.C. on May 29 as 3-point favorites with the Under (164) also cashing.

Against the spread: Mystics +3.5 (+100) | Dream -3.5 (-120)
Over/Under (O/U): 156.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Mystics at Dream picks and predictions

Prediction

Mystics 80, Dream 74

Moneyline

WASHINGTON (+145) is a solid play as moderate road underdogs. The road team has picked up victories in both meetings this season, and 3 in a row in the series since Sept. 8, 2023.

Plus, the Mystics are just playing much better basketball. Washington is 6-2 in its past 8 games since Aug. 23, while Atlanta is 2-7 across its previous 9 outings.

Against the spread

If you’d like to play it safe and need a little wiggle room in the event of a close game, MYSTICS +3.5 (+100) is worth a look. Don’t play both the moneyline and the underdog together, though. If you’re more conservative, take the points, and if you’re a little more adventurous, go with the moneyline. Either way, though, you should be fine.

Over/Under

UNDER 156.5 (-110) is the lean but go with a half-unit play at most.

The Under has cashed in both previous meetings this season, and the total has gone low in 4 in a row in this series. With a lot of pressure to win and keep playoff hopes alive, we should see some nerves, and poor shooting, at least initially.

The Under is 2-0 in the past 2 for Washington, and 6-3 in the past 9 outings. For Atlanta, the total has gone low in 4 of the past 6 contests.

Washington Mystics at Chicago Sky odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Washington Mystics at Chicago Sky odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Washington Mystics (11-24) and Chicago Sky (13-22) meet Wednesday at Wintrust Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Mystics vs. Sky odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Mystics lead 2-1

The Mystics are still mathematically alive for a playoff berth, but the clock is ticking. Washington is 2 games behind the Sky, who currently occupies the 8th and final playoff seed, with 5 games to play. The Atlanta Dream is also vying for a postseason spot, 1 game behind Chicago.

Washington has won a respectable 5 games in the past 7 outings, while going 7-1 against the spread (ATS) in the previous 8 contests. The Over is on a 3-1 run in the past 4 outings, too. That includes a key 74-70 win at Chicago on Aug. 28 as a 2.5-point favorite as the Under (158) cashed.

For Chicago, it has won and covered the past 2 outings after a 7-game skid from Aug. 18-Sept. 3. The Under has hit in 3 of the previous 4 outings.

Washington has picked up 6 victories in the past 7 meetings in this series since May 26, 2023, while the Mystics are 5-1 ATS in the past 6 outings. The Under is on a 6-1 run in the past 7 meetings, too, including 2 of 3 this season.

And, it’s worth mentioning yet again, Sky rookie F Angel Reese is now out for the remainder of the season due to wrist surgery.

Over/Under (O/U): 160.5 (O: -112 | U: -108)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Mystics at Sky picks and predictions

Prediction

Mystics 81, Sky 76

Moneyline

WASHINGTON (+104) is a solid play on the moneyline as slight underdogs on the road. The Mystics have won 6 of the past 7 in this series, and now the Mystics catch a break by not having to contend with the rebounding machine Reese.

The Mystics are fighting for their playoff lives, and they’re playing great basketball lately, arguably some of the best in the Eastern Conference.

Against the spread

There is no value playing Washington +1.5 (-112) catching the little bit of points, as it costs you more than your return, when you can get a plus figure on the moneyline.

PASS, and look to the Mystics straight up.

Over/Under

UNDER 160.5 (-108) is a strong play in this key Eastern Conference battle.

While it’s key that the Under is 2-1 in 3 meetings between these teams this season, and the Under is 6-1 in the past 7 in the series, that’s not the only reason to look low.

In addition, Chicago will not have the luxury of 2nd and 3rd chances with Reese on the offensive glass. The Under is 3-1 in the past 4 games for the Sky, while the Under is 5-3 in the past 8 outings since Aug. 20 for the Mystics. That includes the most recent meeting on Aug. 28.

Washington Mystics at Chicago Sky odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Washington Mystics at Chicago Sky odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Washington Mystics (8-22) and Chicago Sky (11-18) meet Wednesday at Wintrust Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (NBA TV). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Mystics vs. Sky odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Tied 1-1

The Mystics have won their past 2 games, while covering in 3 in a row. Washington is looking for a season-high 3rd consecutive victory. The Under has cashed in the past 3 outings, too.

Although the Sky have dropped 3 in a row, Chicago is a solid 3-1 against the spread (ATS) in the past 4 outings. The Under and Over have alternated in each of the past 9 games dating back to July 10.

Chicago rookie Angel Reese has been unreal lately, posting 20 or more rebounds in 3 consecutive outings. She is the 1st player in WNBA history to record 20 or more rebounds in 3 straight games. She had a career-best 22 boards against Las Vegas last time out, and she is averaging a ridiculous 14.3 points, 20.7 rebounds and 1.3 blocked shots per game in the past 3 outings.

This is the 1st meeting in Chicago. The Sky won the 1st meeting in D.C. on June 6, a 79-71 win as a 3-point favorite, while cashing the Under (156). In the 2nd meeting, Washington edged Chicago 83-81 as a 2.5-point underdog as the Over (158.5) connected.

Over/Under (O/U): 158.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Mystics at Sky picks and predictions

Prediction

Mystics 80, Sky 75

Moneyline

While Chicago (+118) has been the better team this season, WASHINGTON (-144) is red-hot lately, and searching for its 3rd consecutive victory.

The Mystics are catching the Sky at the right time, as Chicago has dropped 3 in a row despite the fact Reese has been piling up the rebounds lately. In fact, the Sky have won just twice in the 8 outings since July 11. Back the visitors.

Against the spread

If you’re a little more adventurous, forget about the moneyline and take WASHINGTON -2.5 (-108) on the road.

The Mystics have won 5 of the past 6 meetings, too, while going 4-1 ATS in the past 5 in the series. Washington has covered 3 in a row since Aug. 18, and it is 15-5 ATS in the past 20 games.

On the flip side, while the Sky is 3-1 ATS in the past 4 contests, they’re just 2-5 ATS in the past 7 games at home.

Over/Under

UNDER 158.5 (-110) is worth a look, but go lightly.

The Under has hit in 5 of the past 6 meetings, although the Over hit in the most recent battle on June 14.

The total has gone low in 3 straight for the Mystics, while going 5-2 across the previous 7 games.

Washington Mystics at Indiana Fever odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Washington Mystics at Indiana Fever odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Washington Mystics (5-17) and Indiana Fever (9-13) meet Wednesday afternoon at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. Tip-off is scheduled for noon ET (NBATV). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Mystics vs. Fever odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Fever lead 2-0

The Mystics suffered a 74-67 road loss Saturday against the Minnesota Lynx last time out on Saturday, but they covered as 9-point underdogs with the Under (158) cashing. Washington has dropped 4 of the past 5 games, but it is on an impressive 6-1 against-the-spread (ATS) run and is 10-2 ATS in the past 12 outings.

The Fever won the most recent matchup in this series June 19 at Indianapolis, topping the Mystics 88-81 as 5-point favorites with the Over (167) connecting.

Indiana is brimming with confidence after taking down the 1st-place New York Liberty 83-78 Saturday. The Fever were 10.5-point underdogs and the Under (174) cashed. Indiana is a solid 6-3 in the past 9 games, while going 7-2 ATS in the impressive span. The Under is 4-0 in its previous 4 outings.

Rookie G Caitlin Clark became the first rookie in WNBA history with a triple-double in the win vs. the Liberty, posting 19 points, 13 assists and 12 rebounds.

Against the spread: Mystics +6 (-108) | Fever -6 (-112)
Over/Under (O/U): 167.5 (O: -112 | U: -108)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Mystics at Fever picks and predictions

Prediction

Fever 84, Mystics 80

Moneyline

Indiana (-280) will cost 2.8 times the potential return, and that’s just a bit too steep for a standalone wager. If you’re playing a multi-leg parlay, or a Same-Game Parlay (SGP) with player props, backing the Fever on the moneyline can certainly be excused. However, betting such strong favorites is a poor long-term betting strategy.

AVOID and look to the line instead.

Against the spread

WASHINGTON +6 (-108) is worth playing lightly catching the points.

This is the most points Indiana has been favored by this season. The Fever were 5.5-point favorites May 28 against the visiting Los Angeles Sparks, and Indiana lost outright 88-82.

However, as mentioned, Indiana did win 88-81 against Washington as a 5-point favorite June 19. Indiana is just 1-2 ATS in 3 games this season when it is favored by 3.5 points or more.

Over/Under

UNDER 167.5 (-108) is a strong play in this matinee affair.

The Under has cashed in 4 straight outings for the Fever, including its confidence-building win over the Liberty last time out. The total went low despite Clark’s triple-double heroics.

Again, we’ll be betting the opposite way of how this matchup went before, as the total went Over June 19, as well as June 7 in the nation’s capital. However, the Mystics have cashed Unders in 3 of the past 4 outings, and we should see the offense for both sides get out of the gates slowly with a mid-week afternoon tip time.

Las Vegas Aces at Washington Mystics odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Las Vegas Aces at Washington Mystics odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Las Vegas Aces (9-6) and Washington Mystics (4-14) meet Saturday at Entertainment & Sports Arena. Tip-off from Washington D.C. is scheduled for 2 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Aces vs. Mystics odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: First meeting; Aces won 2-1 last season

Las Vegas enters on a 3-game win streak, its longest of the season. The Aces covered in all 3 victories, also a season best.

The Over is on a 5-2 run for the Aces, while going 4-0 across the past 4 road games.

Aces superstar C A’ja Wilson leads the league in scoring (28.0 points per game), rebounds (11.3 rpg) and blocks (2.4 bpg). She had 31 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks in a 95-83 win at the Chicago Sky Thursday, while hitting 10-of-19 from the field.

Washington has picked up the pace after a dismal 0-12 start, going 4-2 across the past 6 outings. Like the Aces, the Mystics have covered the past 3 games, while going an impressive 7-1 against the spread (ATS) in the previous 8 contests.

Aces at Mystics picks and predictions

Prediction

Aces 94, Mystics 83

Moneyline

Las Vegas (-1000) will set you back 10 times your potential return, which is a crazy amount of risk for a standalone wager. Even as part of a multi-leg or same-game parlay (SGP), there is just no value including such a heavy favorite. Over the long term it is a losing betting strategy.

PASS.

Against the spread

Take WASHINGTON +12.5 (-110) with the points in this home game at the cozy Entertainment & Sports Arena in D.C.

The Mystics have been on fire against the number, going 7-1 ATS in the past 8 games. They’re also an impressive 4-1 ATS in 5 games as double-digit underdogs this season, including a near-miss in a 94-91 OT home loss against the Connecticut Sun Thursday.

Las Vegas has won and covered a season-high 3 in a row, but it is just 2-4 ATS as a favorite of 10 or more points this season.

Over/Under

OVER 173.5 (-110) is a solid play in Aces games, and it’s been a slam-dunk play lately when the Mystics are involved, too.

Las Vegas has scored 85 or more points in 6 of the past 7 games, while conceding at least 83 points in 6 of the past 7. The Over is on a 5-2 run for the Aces.

Washington has been a meal ticket for Over bettors lately, cashing in 5 straight, and 7 of the past 8 outings.

Indiana Fever at Washington Mystics odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Indiana Fever at Washington Mystics odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Indiana Fever (2-9) and Washington Mystics (0-10) meet Friday in a Commissioner’s Cup game at Capital One Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (ION). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Fever vs. Mystics odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: First meeting; Tied 2-2 in 2023

The Fever suffered a 104-68 loss at the New York Liberty Sunday last time out, coming nowhere close to covering as 14.5-point underdogs. The Over (170) cashed in the final minute.

Fever G Caitlin Clark, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, had a disastrous game against the Liberty. She hit just 1-of-10 from the field, including 1-of-7 from behind the 3-point line, finishing with a career-low 3 points along with 5 assists, 2 rebounds and 2 steals with a blocked shot.

The Mystics, who will be playing a 2nd night in a row, were tripped up 79-71 at home as 3-point underdogs by the Chicago Sky Thursday with the Under (156) cashing. It was Washington’s 10th consecutive loss, which is tied for the 4th longest skid to start a season. The Mystics, who were led by F Aaliyah Edwards‘ 23 points, scored just 27 second-half points and finished with 24 turnovers.

The Mystics are 1-4 against the spread (ATS) in the past 5 games, while the Under has cashed in 6 of the past 8 contests, including 3-0 in the past 3 at home.

Moneyline (ML): Fever -140 (bet $140 to win $100) | Mystics +114 (bet $100 to win $114)
Against the spread: Fever -2 (-112) | Mystics +2 (-108)
Over/Under (O/U): 161.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Fever at Mystics picks and predictions

Prediction

Fever 81, Mystics 76

Moneyline

Indiana (-140) heads to the nation’s capital looking for just its 3rd win on the season. While that’s not many wins, obviously, Washington (+114) would sure take it with its 0-10 start.

However, if you like the Fever, just play them laying the little bit of points for a much better value.

PASS on a moneyline play.

Against the spread

INDIANA -2 (-112) is much cheaper laying the bucket compared to the -140 moneyline. Indiana is just 1-4 against the spread (ATS) in the past 5 games, so this play comes with a little bit of risk.

But Washington is also 1-4 ATS in the past 5 games, and just 2-5-1 ATS in the previous 8 outings after opening the season with back-to-back covers. The Mystics haven’t played a back-to-back yet this season, but it was 0-1 straight up and ATS last season when playing on no rest.

Over/Under

UNDER 161.5 (-110) might be the best play on the board.

The Under has cashed in 3 of the past 4 head-to-head meetings, while going 8-2 in the past 10 dating back to May 2021.

While the Over has a slight 3-2 edge in 5 road games for the Fever, the Under is 6-2 in the past 8 games for the Mystics, and 3-0 in the past 3 contests at home.
