Mercury vs. Liberty Prediction
The Liberty are in prime position to close out the series on their home floor tonight. They’ve been dominant at home all season, boasting a 17-5 record at Barclays Center.
New York enters this matchup riding a three-game win streak and plenty of momentum. With their experience and depth, this veteran squad is poised to deliver a strong performance and finish the series in front of their home crowd.
Sabrina Ionescu had a strong season, averaging 18.2 points per game. With veteran Breanna Stewart listed as a game-time decision, Sabrina Ionescu could see even more scoring opportunities if Stewart sits.
Regardless of Stewart’s status, Ionescu is in a prime spot to shine, and I love her chances to exceed this number tonight.
Best Bet: Liberty ML & Sabrina Ionescu 15+ Points
