Lynx vs. Mystics Preview, Betting Analysis
The Minnesota Lynx look to push their winning streak to four as they hit the road to take on a Washington side that has won three of five and is coming off an overtime win over the Wings.
The Mystics are heavy underdogs in this game but are 8-6 against the spread this season. However, I'm not going to focus on a side or total in this game and will instead target Sonia Citron in the player props market.
Lynx vs. Mystics Prediction
Citron is at 12.5 points and maybe I'll be proven wrong, but I was surprised to see this at 12.5 and thought it should be a point or two higher.
Granted, it's against the Lynx, but Citron has gone over this line in three straight and has scored double digits in every single game as a pro this season. She's very consistent for a rookie, which we don't often get.
This comes down to usage and volume, even against the Lynx. I think she can have an inefficient game and still get to 13 points, but she hasn't had a ton of inefficient games anyway.
With Citron, I feel like I'm watching somebody who's going to be an All-Star in this league very, very soon.
Best Bet: Sonia Citron Over 12.5 Points
