WNBA Best Picks: Same Game Parlay & Prediction for Lynx vs Mystics

The Minnesota Lynx (25-5) has lost Napheesa Collier till the third week of August. But the team continued their hot streak against the Seattle Storm (16-14) without her. It is a testament to their depth.

On the other hand, the Washington Mystics (13-16) have made widespread changes. They shipped off their leading scorer, Brittney Sykes, and brought in Jacy Sheldon for Aliyah Edwards.

They also garnered a 2026 first-round pick in the process. Thus, the Mystics are building for the future. Here is my favorite WNBA Same Game Parlay for the match-up.

WNBA Best Bets: Lynx vs Mystics Same Game Parlay

Kayla McBride: 3-Pointers

McBride is in terrific rhythm this season. She is averaging 14.8 points per game, and her duties have increased due to Collier’s absence. The Lynx guard has 2.8 triples per game on 40.2% shooting.

McBride has nailed 3 or more triples in six of the last eight games. I expect the Lynx guard to make at least 3 here, too.

Sonia Citron: Points

Citron is having a strong scoring season. The rookie is putting up 14.3 PPG on a highly impressive 45.3% clip. The Mystics guard has scored 13 in five straight games.

Her scoring duties have multiplied after the team traded away Sykes. Thus, I expect her to continue the theme of 12+ points games.

Citron O 12.5 Points

Picks	BetMGM Odds
McBride O 2.5 3-Pointers	-120
Citron O 12.5 Points	Undefined (Projected -125)
Williams O 4.5 Assists	Undefined (Projected -140)
Spread: Mystics +10.5	-115

Courtney Williams: Assists

The Lynx guard is in tremendous playmaking touch. She has been on fire even more lately. Williams has dished out 4+ assists in more than 80% games.

Williams will have the ball even more without Collier. Thus, expecting her to deliver 4+ helpers is not out of the realm.

Williams O 4.5 Assists

WNBA SGP: McBride O 2.5 3-Pointers, Citron O 12.5 Points, Williams O 4.5 Assists for +195 at BetMGM

WNBA Best Picks: Lynx vs Mystics Prediction

The Lynx have been 7-1 over the last eight games. Minnesota is doing a great job even without Collier, winning all four games.

On the other hand, the Mystics are clearly in rebuild mode, battling a three-game losing streak.

Minnesota is the favorite here, but don’t write off Mystics; they can battle hard. Thus, I can see them covering the spread.

Lynx vs Mystics Spread: Mystics +10.5 for -110 at BetMGM

Hi, I am Shubham. I am currently an NBA Predictions Writer on The Playoffs. I enjoy this job because it helps keep me in the loop about the game I love while fulfilling the pleasure I derive from stats. I got into NBA writing through social media interactions in the mid-2010s as I shared my takes on young talents such as D’Angelo Russell. I hope you enjoy reading my pieces as much as Dennis Rodman loved rebounding the basketball!
