Washington at Seattle

A long road trip for the Washington Mystics, 3,000 miles from home to the great Northwest. They are on a 1-2 run despite playing two of those at home. Washington is ninth in the WNBA in points scored, seventh in rebounding, yet is a road favorite. Washington is hurting, too, playing the last game without Kara Lawson and Tayler Hill. Lawson, averaging 9.6 points and a team-high 3.6 assists, was out with a back injury, Hill (7.3 points per game) was out with an ankle problem. The Mystics are 3-10-1 ATS against a team with a losing record and face a Seattle squad on a 2-1 SU/ATS run. This is the fifth straight home game for Seattle, who have owned this series. Washington has lost nine in a row at Seattle since a 78-71 victory July 13, 2005, for the longest active league win streak for a team over another at home. The Mystics are 2-5 ATS in the last seven meetings, too, so grab the home court. Play Seattle.
