Betting Trends
The Wings are 10-4 ATS in the last 14 games against teams from the Eastern Conference, 1-4 ATS in the last 5 games playing after a one-day rest, 1-4 ATS in the last 5 games against teams with a losing record, 1-5 ATS in the last 6 games following a ATS loss, 1-7 ATS in the last 8 games overall and 1-7 ATS in the last 8 games following a loss. Dallas has played over the total point line in 12 of the last 16 games playing after a one-day rest, 6 of the last 8 games played on Saturday, 6 of the last 8 games playing against teams with a losing record, and 10 of the last 15 games following a loss. The Mystics are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 games overall and 2-5-1 ATS in the last 8 games against teams with a losing record. Washington has played under the total point line in 7 of the last 9 games against teams from the Western Conference, 7 of the last 10 home games, and 27 of the last 40 games against teams with a losing record.
Prediction and Conclusion
Both teams have had a terrible season so far. Washington needed 11 games to win their first game of the season, while Dallas is currently on a nine-game losing streak. The Wings have won the last three games against the Mystics, and this looks like a great opportunity to stop the bleeding. Still, going under the total point line, which is set at 160.5 points in total, seems like a much better option since these two played under in three of the last four games and are among the worst shooting teams in the league.
