Moneyline/Spread: The Mystics are -9.5-point favorites. The +105number is tempting but the question again has to be asked. Simply, will they let up a little bit because its the regular-season finale? Chicago is in an interesting spot here and makes them at least a small play at +9.5 (-125). Placing a small wager on the Sky is a good idea. The expectation is Washington will win just not cover.

Over/under: The OVER 178 (EV) is a strong 3-1-1 in the past five for the Sky and 8-3 in its last 11 against Eastern Conference foes dating back to last season. For the Mystics, the over is 4-1 in their past five going back to last season. Despite this, we are hedging a bit and going with the UNDER 178 (-121). This expects to be close but if the early pace of play is sluggish, then the under hits easily.
