We’re 3-0 in our last three WNBA picks +2.4 units. Let’s get another win tonight to finish off the work week.
Mystics +6 (Barstool), 1 unit*
The Washington Mystics are playing some of their best basketball right now. They’ve won five of their last six games and are coming off a big win over the Aces despite being underdogs. They find themselves as underdogs once again in tonight’s matchup in Chicago, but we think they have what it takes to cover the +6 spread. (You can find +6 at Barstool. Most other places have this at +5.5, which I would be fine taking as well.)
Washington’s offense has been rolling lately. They rank second in 3PT% over their last five games and have out-shot their opponents from the field in 4 of their last 5 games. Defensively, the Mystics are first in opponent’s points in the paint and opponent’s FT%. This isn’t a great sign for Chicago being the Sky lead the league in points in the paint and are great at drawing contact and getting to the free throw line. I expect the Mystics to make disrupting that aspect of Chicago’s game a major focus tonight.
Washington also has a fairly easy schedule over their next three games to finish out the regular season. They play one against the Los Angeles Sparks and two against the Indiana Fever. Both those games should be easily winnable if they show up and play their brand of basketball. Knowing this, I could see Washington coming into tonight’s game ready to get a statement win in their last big challenge of the regular season. Meanwhile, Chicago has a brutal schedule to end their season. Their next three games are against the Aces, Sun and Storm before finishing things off against the Mercury. This could be a potential look-ahead spot for Chicago knowing the competition that awaits.
More free plays to come. In the meantime, I’d love it if you would give me a follow on Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok.
*All plays listed are to win that amount.
