Sabrina Ionescu is averaging 17.5 points and 6.4 assists, while Natasha Howard is averaging 15.3 points and 7.3 rebounds. Betnijah Laney is the third double-digit scorer and Marine Johannes is grabbing 1.8 rebounds. The New York Liberty are shooting 34.4 percent from beyond the arc and 81.8 percent from the free throw line. The New York Liberty are allowing 33.7 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 34.4 rebounds per game.
The Dallas Wings are averaging 82.4 points on 42.9 percent shooting and allowing 82.4 points on 45.6 percent shooting. Arike Ogunbowale is averaging 19.7 points and 3.3 rebounds, while Allisha Gray is averaging 13.2 points and 4.9 rebounds.

The Liberty are 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 road games and 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The Wings are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 home games and 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games overall. The under is 6-2 in Liberty last 8 overall. The over is 10-4 in Wings last 14 home games. The Liberty are 2-10 ATS in the last 12 meetings in Dallas and 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.
The New York Liberty are fighting for their playoff lives and have turned things around over the last 2 weeks, but their recent effort against the Mercury is concerning, and they've had issues on the road all year. The Dallas Wings are also in terrific form at the moment with 4 straight victories, and they're inching closer and closer toward clinching a playoff spot. Two of those wins came against legit title contenders in the Sky and Aces, so the Wings should really be turning heads. I'll lay the reasonable chalk with the Wings at home.
