Prediction for Washington Mystics vs Connecticut Sun

The Connecticut Sun should be looking to rebound after two straight losses, and they have already beaten the Mystics twice this season. Those games have been decided by an average of 12 points. The Sun have won 9 of their last 10 games against the Mystics overall. The Washington Mystics have turned their season around with wins in 4 of their last 5 games, but it's important to note that those wins have come against the Wings, Sky, and Dream. The Mystics still have a lot to prove. A thick line, especially for an away team, but I'm still leaning toward the Sun and going for the 9.5 points.
