Chicago at Washington

The addition of Natalie Novosel from Notre Dame will give the Mystics room to run with a quick scorer that can also deliver the ball in the right places. I look for this team to pick up the pace this season, and become a lot more aggressive on the offensive end. The Sky made a great pickup by signing Swin Cash to play alongside Sylvia Fowles, which is going to make them tough inside on offense and a lot of opportunities for misses on the offensive glass. That should add some interior problems, opening up the perimeter for better looks than they had a year ago. The trends for both of these teams should feature a better pace and flow to the offenses, with more reliable shooting. This game is going OVER the total.
