Can the Mystics turn things around against a Fire team that has one of the worst defenses in the W?<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"8a\">Here\u2019s a look at the odds, a player prop to consider and my prediction for Sunday\u2019s matchup.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Fire vs. Mystics Odds, Spread and Total<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"8g\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/4kJjtBu\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"8j\">Spread<\/p>\n<p>Fire +6.5 (-115)Mystics -6.5 (-105)<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"8p\">Moneyline<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"8v\">Total<\/p>\n<p>166.5 (Over -105\/Under -115)Fire vs. Mystics How to WatchDate: Sunday, June 28Time: 3:00 p.m. ESTVenue: CareFirst ArenaHow to Watch (TV): Fox 12 Plus, MNMT, WNBA League PassFire record: 8-11Mystics record: 8-9Fire vs. Mystics Injury ReportsFire Injury ReportKarlie Samuelson \u2013 questionableMystics Injury ReportFire vs. Mystics Best WNBA Prop BetsMystics Best WNBA Prop BetGeorgia Amoore OVER 4.5 Assists (-141)<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-23\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"9v\">Former first-round pick Georgia Amoore missed the entire 2025 season with a torn ACL, and she has struggled shooting the ball (32.3 percent from the field, 28.2 percent from 3) in the 2026 season.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-24\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"9y\">Still, the Mystics have started Amoore in all 17 of their games, and she is averaging 4.1 assists per night.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-25\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"a1\">I expect the former Kentucky star to clear her season average against the Fire, who rank 15th in defensive rating, 13th in opponent points per game and 15th in opponent assists per game this season.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-26\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"a4\">Amoore has five or more dimes in three of her last four matchups, and she should be able to set the table for this young Washington team on Sunday.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Fire vs. Mystics Prediction and Pick<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-28\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"aa\">In my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/betting\/wnba-best-bets-today-predictions-prop-bets-for-azzi-fudd-aces-mystics-breanna-stewart\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">WNBA Best Bets column \u2013 Peter\u2019s Points<\/a> \u2013 on Sunday, I broke down why I believe the Mystics will win this game outright:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-29\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"ad\">Washington struggled on offense against the Sun on Friday night, but it has a very favorable matchup with Portland on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-30\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"ag\">The Fire have dropped seven of their last 10 games, falling to last in the league in net rating (minus-10.0) in the process. Portland was blown out twice by a struggling Chicago team last week, and the Mystics have shown that they can compete with some of the best teams in the league, beating Minnesota and covering twice against it earlier this month.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-31\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"aj\">Washington also has the No. 3 defensive rating in the W, which is where it can win this game. Portland\u2019s defense has been absolutely awful, ranking dead last in defensive rating, 14th in opponent field goal percentage and 13th in opponent points per game.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-32\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"am\">Even though the Mystics have struggled at home in limited action in 2026, the Fire are just 2-6 straight up on the road.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-33\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"ap\">Washington is 10-7 against the spread this season, and I expect it to bounce back against a Portland team that hasn\u2019t defended anyone so far in the 2026 season.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-34\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"as\">Pick: Mystics -6.5 <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/4kJjtBu\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\" target=\"_blank\">(-105 at DraftKings)<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-36\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"ax\">Odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-37\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"b0\">If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1-800-GAMBLER.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-38\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"b3\">Find Peter Dewey&#8217;s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/1BIvWO-S-TFepu-8DBiXfx10kJJ4Zi7ctpMBVYK9oCZQ\/edit?usp=sharing\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">WNBA betting record here<\/a>\u00a0(futures included).
