(603) Washington Mystics at (604) Chicago Sky
Sky dealing with some illness and likely have some players out. Mystics have been playing better I’ll take a shot here.
Analysis: Played this last night when Chicago Sun Times reported Chennedy Carter out with COVID and a number of other players dealing with illness. At best, Chicago is down their highest impact player and a very realistic scenario is other Sky players test positive/feel worse and are ruled out as the day goes on.
Mystics have been better, they were mauled by Minnesota in their first two games out of the break but since have back to back wins over Sparks and Storm and another close loss to the Storm that was a one point game late. This is a Mystics team that played the majority of the first half without Brittney Sykes and Shakira Austin (two of their four double digit scorers) so I think it's likely Washington is better than their 8-22 record and undervalued due to their horrific start.
Even if the Sky end up with most of their players (or if some play through illness) I still like my position on Mystics (especially now that we got ahead of the market move).
I think ML up to -150 is good for 4% on Washington here.
Play on Mystics +1.5 (-115) for 4% (or 4 units)
