Washington at New York

The New York Liberty dismantled Washington five days ago — a 22-point blowout where Breanna Stewart posted 14 points, 12 rebounds, and a career-high seven blocks, and the Liberty had their entire roster available for the first time all season. New York is playing the best basketball in the East and enters on a seven-game win streak with a berth in the Commissioner's Cup final already locked. The number is 13.5. Washington is not a good team, sitting under .500 with losses piling up — but the Mystics have shown real fight this month, pulling off a last-second win over Toronto just before they faced New York. Teams rarely replicate 22-point victories over the same opponent in a matter of days, and the Liberty's focus understandably drifts toward June 30's title game. The Mystics don't need to compete with New York on paper — they just need to keep it within two possessions. Side with Washington and the points tonight.
