Las Vegas Aces vs New York Liberty Prediction

This game is going to be a shootout. The Aces are going to have no issue running up the score, but I don’t trust their defense to make the stops. The Liberty are also an elite offensive team and they are going to have no issue running up the score also. This game is going to have very little defense played by either team, and this game is going to end up going well over the total. Back the over.
