Sun vs Mystics tips, predictions and betting preview

Our basketball betting expert offers up his three best Sun vs Mystics predictions ahead of their huge WNBA clash this Sunday.

Two of the best teams in the Eastern Conference matchup on Sunday with the Sun vs Mystics at the Mohegan Sun Arena. This is the third meeting between the teams in 2023 after the Connecticut Sun beat the Washington Mystics in back-to-back games in May.

Sun vs Mystics Betting Tips

  • Connecticut Sun -6.5 
  • Washington Mystics to win the first quarter 
  • Under 166.5 points 

Sun To Cover Spread Once Again

The Connecticut side has covered the spread in over half of their games this season which informs our Sun vs Mystics tips from the off. We have scoured several WNBA betting sites to find the value picks for this one. 

Their previous wins over the Mystics were by single digits, but they saw off the Seattle Storm with an emphatic 20-point advantage on Thursday night to improve to 13-5 on the season.

Washington has gone just 7-9 against the spread in 2023. Admittedly, they are up in fourth in net rating which makes them amongst the best WNBA tips for this market. This is still a team we expect to hover around .500 for most of the season.

Connecticut is elite on both sides of the ball, ranking behind only the Aces and Liberty in net rating for the season. Washington leans very heavily on their defence and might struggle to score enough points to keep pace with the Sun.

Bet 1: Connecticut Sun -6.5 

Mystics Take The First Quarter

While we fancy the Sun to run out victorious on Sunday, we also expect the Mystics to start strongly. Washington has a whopping +30.8 net rating over their last six first quarters, which has…

One-day camp for 5-8-year-old campers kicked off the month and provided kids an opportunity to spend a day at 4-H camp.

Maryland is making more outdoor space accessible to more people

Governor Wes Moore recently unveiled a new summer tourism campaign for Maryland – “You’re Welcome” – to welcome visitors to experience our great state’s spectacular natural beauty. 

Most people are familiar with our vast Maryland state park system, but did you know that great hiking, biking, birdwatching, camping, water access, and other recreational opportunities are found in our state forests, wildlife management areas, and other lesser-visited public lands? If you really do want to get away from it all, I encourage you to check out the array of natural areas managed by the Department of Natural Resources.

For example, visitors to the Nanticoke Wildlife Management Area on Maryland’s Eastern Shore can spot nesting bald eagles and osprey diving for fish. The mostly undeveloped Nanticoke River’s coastline offers paddlers a chance to try to spot diamondback terrapins, beavers, and otters while exploring long-established marshland. Visitors who head to Maryland’s western panhandle should consider exploring Dan’s Mountain Wildlife Management Area, the largest state forest, where dense woods have created prime habitat for forest songbirds. The area was designated as a State Significant Bird Area by the National Audubon Society and is home to other animals such as bobcats, black bears, and coyotes.   

We continue to partner with land trusts and local communities to expand access to these important natural areas, as we did recently by purchasing a former golf club in Worcester County to expand recreational opportunities in the state’s Chesapeake Forest lands.

But there is much more than state lands to visit. The Moore-Miller administration is committed to assuring that all Marylanders have access to healthy outdoor recreation and green…

Former Luzerne Borough man sentenced for firearm straw purchases

Jul. 11—WILKES-BARRE — A former Luzerne Borough man who solicited a woman to purchase firearms that were reported missing from the evidence locker room at the Luzerne Borough Police Department was sentenced in Luzerne County Court Tuesday.

President Judge Michael T. Vough sentenced Donald Myles Cool, 27, to two-to-four years in state prison on three counts of criminal solicitation to commit false written statements on firearm applications. Cool pled guilty to the charges Feb. 6.

Cool’s sentence imposed by Vough will begin once he completes a two-to-four year stint on similar offenses in Monroe County.

Court records say Cool solicited Elizabeth Ann Delong, 38, to purchase 19 firearms from licensed firearm dealers in Nanticoke and Wyoming in 2020.

Cool is a convicted felon prohibited from owning, carrying and possessing firearms, court records say.

Cool was arrested by Pocono Mountain Regional Police Department on March 3, 2021, on charges of illegally possessing firearms.

The investigation in Monroe County revealed Cool received the firearms that were purchased by Delong who lived with him on Vaughn Street.

Luzerne Borough police reportedly seized the illegally purchased firearms from the apartment of Cool and Delong in 2021.

As the investigation continued, county detectives working with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives executed a search warrant at the Luzerne Borough Police Department in early June 2022, seeking 17 firearms.

None were seized by detectives and agents, according to an inventory receipt with the search warrant.

District Attorney Sam Sanguedolce could not be reached for comment to determine if the firearms were found.

Delong pled guilty to criminal conspiracy to illegally possess a firearm and was sentenced on Nov. 28, to one year probation.
