The Las Vegas Aces are the more talented team and should be favored, but they're also going through a rough patch and that includes losing to the Liberty last week, giving up 116 points. The New York Liberty have been sneaky good at times this season, and they've covered 8 of their last 11 tries. The Aces probably should win, but their current form is concerning, and the Liberty have found ways to compete these last couple of weeks. Give me the points.
