Detroit at Washington

The Detroit Shock makes the trip to Washington to square off with the Mystics. What had been hope for renewal and revival for the Mystics after a poor showing before the break has gotten even worse. They have dropped all three games, two of which were at home to teams that are under .500. The WNBA is a home court league, but not in the house of the Mystics, as outside of the lowly Atlanta Dream, they are the only other team under .500 at home at 6-9. The Shock has all winnable games left on their schedule and has owned the Mystics this season, burying them in this building by 37 points already, as well as putting a double-digit pasting on them at home. I can't see a team that is losing with a high degree of regularity against weak teams putting up a fight here. The Shock gets the call on the moneyline.
