Prediction and Conclusion

With two games left in the regular season, the Washington Mystics are tied with the Atlanta Dream and the Chicago Sky for fourth place in the Eastern Conference, the last one that leads to the playoffs. The Mystics are in good form, but the schedule brings the best team in the league in DC. The Liberty are locked for the top seed in the entire league and are coming off a rare home loss. They have won the last five head-to-head games against the Mystics and are a 9.5-point favorite in this one. There is no doubt that they are the better team, but given the circumstances and recent Mystics form, we go with Washington to keep the game close and cover the given spread.
