Washington at Atlanta

This game represents a good emotional/situational handicapping spot for the visitors. Atlanta is a big favorite here despite being pretty much a .500 team (15-14) and an unremarkable 9-6 at home. They don't have a lot to play for with only five games left, three games ahead of Chicago in the standings and four games behind Indiana. And they are off an emotional, gut-wrenching loss, blowing a 20-point lead at Minnesota, 97-93 in overtime. How much will they really have for this game against lowly Washington? Washington is 2-1 ATS the last three games, losing by 7 and 6 to New York and powerhouse Connecticut but covering. And, the Mystics are 5-1 ATS in their last six games playing on one day's rest. Take the Mystics here.
