Prediction and Conclusion

This is the first of the back-to-back games between the Mystics and the Dream, and the stakes are high since both teams have a chance to clinch the last playoff spot in the East. The Chicago Sky are still one game ahead, but with Angel Reese being out of the season, they will probably fail to finish fourth. The Mystics are currently in much better form than the Dream, and they won the last game in Atlanta by 19 points. The Dream are the favorites to win this one, but we go with the Mystics to cover the +3.5-point spread.
