Washington @ Dallas picks

Despite a string of losses, the Wings are 4-1 ATS in their last five games, and 6-3 ATS in their past nine matchups against the Mystics. That’s enough for me to lay this small spread this afternoon.

The Mystics' defense and its eighth-best 106.2 defensive NET rating across their previous five contests will have their hands full today guarding the rested and versatile scoring Bueckers. Bueckers leads the Wings in scoring (18.6 ppg). She’s hitting 46% of her shots from the floor, 33% from downtown, along with 87% of just over four attempts from the charity stripe. The former UConn star has scored 20+ in four straight contests and 20 points in her lone meeting at Washington on June 22.
