The Minnesota Lynx (12-1) and Washington Mystics (6-8) meet in the WNBA tonight. Tipoff is set for 8:00 p.m. EDT at CareFirst Arena in Washington, DC. The game will be broadcast live on MNMT.

The Lynx are favored by -9.5 on the spread, with the over/under set at 157 (-112o / -109u). The Lynx are a -455 favorite to win outright, while the Mystics are +350 to pull off the upset.

Let’s get into my Lynx vs. Mystics prediction and WNBA picks.

Lynx vs. Mystics Odds, Pick

  • Lynx vs. Mystics Spread: Lynx -9.5 (-112), Mystics +9.5 (-108)
  • Lynx vs. Mystics Over/Under: 157 (-112o / -109u)
  • Lynx vs. Mystics Moneyline: Lynx -455, Mystics +350
  • Lynx vs. Mystics Best Bet: Sonia Citron Over 12.5 Points

The Minnesota Lynx look to push their winning streak to four as they hit the road to take on a Washington side that has won three of five and is coming off an overtime win over the Wings.

The Mystics are heavy underdogs in this game but are 8-6 against the spread this season. However, I’m not going to focus on a side or total in this game and will instead target Sonia Citron in the player props market.

Citron is at 12.5 points and maybe I’ll be proven wrong, but I was surprised to see this at 12.5 and thought it should be a point or two higher.

Granted, it’s against the Lynx, but Citron has gone over this line in three straight and has scored double digits in every single game as a pro this season. She’s very consistent for a rookie, which we don’t often get.

This comes down to usage and volume, even against the Lynx. I think she can have an inefficient game and still get to 13 points, but she hasn’t had a ton of inefficient games anyway.

With Citron, I feel like I’m watching somebody who’s going to be an All-Star in this league very, very soon.

Best Bet: Sonia Citron Over 12.5 Points
