The Washington Mystics sprung an upset on Sunday, but now the Minnesota Lynx should arrive to make Washington pay a significant toll.

My Lynx vs. Mystics predictions and these WNBA picks expect Minnesota to exact distinct revenge on Wednesday, June 24.

Lynx vs Mystics prediction

Lynx vs Mystics best bet: Olivia Miles Over 18.5 points (-110)

Olivia Miles took on a traditional point guard role in the first nine games of her career, focusing on setting up her teammates more than setting up herself, thus taking only 11 shots per game.

And then the Minnesota Lynx star rookie flipped a switch. She is now a score-first guard, taking 13.9 shots per game in her last eight games and correspondingly averaging 21.5 points per game.

She scored 22 against the Washington Mystics on Sunday, and with the Lynx angry after that loss, expect Miles to pour in even more tonight.

Covers COVERS INTEL: In the games following their three previous outright losses, Minnesota cleared its Team Total by an average of 14 points, part of enjoying the offensive rating tied for first in the WNBA this season.

Douglas Farmer spends his days thinking about college football and his nights thinking about the NBA. His betting habits and coverage follow that same pattern. He covered Notre Dame football for various outlets from 2008 to 2024, most notably spending eight seasons as NBC Sports’ beat writer on the Irish. That was also when his gambling focus took off. Knowing there were veteran beat writers with three decades more experience than he had, Douglas found his niche by best recognizing Notre Dame’s standing in each year’s national landscape, a complex tapestry most easily understood and remembered via betting odds.

In 2021, that interest created a freelance opportunity with Covers, a role that eventually led to Douglas joining the company full-time in 2023. In the fall, Douglas will place five or six dozen bets each week, a disproportionate amount via BetRivers because the operator tends to have lines slightly different than the rest of the market. The same can be said of Circa Sports’ futures markets.

While Douglas is an avid NBA fan and covers the league throughout the year, the vast majority of his bets are on college football, because that is the biggest key to sports betting: Know what you do not know.
