This is a 10* play on LAS VEGAS

In case you haven't been paying any attention, the WNBA playoffs have reached the semifinal round. Most experts agree that a Connecticut vs. Washington final is inevitable, but that also makes the underdogs in the two respective series somewhat valuable as they're going to be getting a lot of points. Case in point here with Las Vegas in Game 1 of the best of five series with top seeded Washington. The Aces got here thanks to a miraculous last second shot from Dearica Hamby, which gave them a 93-92 win over Chicago on Sunday. But they also have a 22-12 record. There aren't a ton of good teams in this league, but Las Vegas is one of them. So the Mystics laying so many points, after a long layoff, is trickier than it sounds. Might the team who finished the regular season with the best overall record come out a bit rusty? It's certainly possible. . Note that the Mystics are 0-4-1 ATS the last five times they've played on three or more days rest. Las Vegas did beat Washington earlier this year. It was with Elena Delle Donne out of the Mystics lineup, but that game was also here in Washington. The Aces are 7-3 ATS the last 10 meetings. Play on LAS VEGAS
