The Washington Mystics can win the season series tonight when they host the Connecticut Sun at CareFirst Arena.
Both squads have seen better days defensively, and my Sun vs. Mystics predictions anticipate a high-scoring clash in the nation's capital.
Read on as I share my WNBA picks for Tuesday, August 19.
Sun vs Mystics predictions
My Sun vs Mystics best bet: Over 157 (-110 at FanDuel)
The Washington Mystics and Connecticut Sun meet for the third time this season, and fireworks are in store.
Connecticut has topped 90 points in two of its last five games, but its 11th-ranked defense has also surrendered 90 or more in three of those contests.
Washington should get Shakira Austin back, and even without her, the Mystics have twice scored 90+ points since trading leading scorer and top defender Brittney Sykes to Seattle.
The Mystics’ once-strong defense has slipped badly since the move, allowing 80+ points in four of the last five while posting the league’s 10th-worst NET rating (108.8) during this same span.
The Over is 2-0 in this season’s series and 7-3 across the last 10 head-to-head meetings. I’ll follow the trends and back the Over.
Sun vs Mystics same-game parlay (SGP)
Over 157
Tina Charles Over 15.5 points
Mystics -6
Tina Charles has scored 16+ in both tilts against Washington this season, and she gets an added boost with Stefanie Dolson sidelined.
Washington has covered in both head-to-head matchups and four of its last five overall, while Connecticut is just 2-3 ATS in its previous five on the road.
