The Minnesota Lynx finish up their road trip with a matchup against the Washington Mystics on Friday night.

Minnesota has won five games in a row, including the first three on this trip, to improve to 30-7 overall and an impressive 16-2 on the road.

Washington is at the end of a successful homestand after beating Los Angeles and Toronto to get back on track.

The away team won both meetings so far this season, each of those taking place back in June.

Let’s take a look at the odds, a player prop, and my prediction for Friday’s WNBA matchup.

Lynx vs. Mystics Best WNBA Prop Bets

Mystics Best WNBA Prop Bet

• Sonia Citron OVER 24.5 Pts + Reb + Ast (-129)

Sonia Citron saw her streak of four games with at least 28 PRA come to an end on Wednesday against Toronto as she had 13 points, five rebounds, and six assists. It was an off-shooting night for Citron, who went 3-for-9 from the field and 1 from 4 from deep. If she had made one of those buckets, it would’ve been another OVER 24.5 PRA.

Citron had two solid games against Minnesota earlier this season with 26 and 34 PRA, including a 28-point performance at home.

Lynx vs. Mystics Prediction and Pick

Both of these teams have been playing some lower-scoring games as of late.

The Lynx have gone UNDER the total in three straight games, including a 77-66 win in Golden State last time out. The UNDER also hit in three straight games for the Mystics before a high-scoring affair against the Tempo on Wednesday.

Both matchups in June went UNDER 169.5, and while this is a lower total, I think we will see another low-scoring game tonight.

Pick: UNDER 163.5 (-110)
