The teams finished with identical 22-14 records, but Washington is 21-15 ATS compared to 18-18 ATS for Seattle, which won the first two meetings this season before the Mystics prevailed 78-75 on July 31. Washington's strength is a strong defense as it has the league's top overall defensive rating featuring Natasha Cloud, Alysha Clark and Ariel Atkins. The Mystics won their last two games of the regular season against Indiana while shooting nearly 47 percent and that kind of offense would be enough to go along with their great defense. Seattle split its last 10 games, including 109-100 at Las Vegas on Sunday when the Storm allowed 55.7 percent shooting by the Aces. Washington is 7-1 ATS playing with at least three days rest and 7-3 ATS its past 10 games following a win. Take the Mystics.
