Liberty vs. Mystics Preview
The Washington Mystics host the New York Liberty tonight and although the Liberty are the best team in the league, this'll be their third game in four nights and they're coming off a nailbiter against the Valkyries last night.
Perhaps Washington's rest advantage will be enough to help the Mystics cover. Let's dive into my Liberty vs. Mystics parlay picks.
Liberty vs. Mystics Prediction, Parlay Picks
Leg 1: Washington Mystics +8.5
Let's ride with the home 'dog tonight.
New York enters the contest with a perfect 5-0 record on the season and is currently the betting favorite to win the WNBA championship.
However, I love this spot for Washington, even if New York is more talented. The Mystics have played their best basketball on their home floor this season and I anticipate a close back-and-forth contest that favors the underdog.
Leg 2: Brittney Skyes Over 18.5 Points
The former Syracuse standout has been red-hot of late.
Sykes is leading the Mystics with an average of 22.0 points per game and dropped 21 in a win over the Fever on Wednesday. She has gone over this number in four of five games with season and will likely log north of 30 minutes tonight, which bodes well for this prop pick.
Best Bet: Washington Mystics +8.5, Brittney Sykes Over 18.5 Points
