Every team in the WNBA has at least one star except one - the Mystics. Maybe that's why the Mystics don't get much respect from the oddsmaker, or the marketplace.

Once again, that's the case with Washington in this matchup against the Fever and Caitlin Clark.

Indiana hasn't been a favorite of more than 5 1/2 points all season. Washington is 10-2 ATS (83%) in its last 12 games.

The Mystics are 5-5 SU in their last 10 games with four of those defeats occurring against upper tier teams - Lynx, Aces twice and Sun in overtime.

Washington has double revenge motivation having lost to the Fever by two and seven points, respectively. The Mystics trailed the Fever by five points with 12 seconds left in that seven-point loss.

The Fever could be in letdown mode, too, off their biggest win of the season upsetting the Liberty at home in their last game.

Note, too, that the Mystics are the superior defensive team. Washington is giving up 83.1 points a game. The Mystics held the Lynx to only 74 points during their last game. That was eight points below the Lynx's season average.

Indiana ranks second-to-last defensively surrendering 87.3 points a game.
