Atlanta Dream vs. New York Liberty Prediction

I’m on the Dream here. I get the case to be made for either side in this game, but the problem here for the Liberty is that they’re locked into the 7/8 seed, and the Dream can secure the 4-seed with a win while also keeping their momentum going. I think we’re getting a free bucket with the better team so give me Atlanta and the points.
