Atlanta Dream vs New York Liberty Prediction

The Dream’s defense is a problem and they are going to struggle here. The Liberty scored 83 points in the first game and they are going to score at least that here. The Liberty’ defense isn’t going to be as strong here though and the Dream are going to have no issue running up the score. This game is going to feature very little defense by either team and this game is going to be a shootout. Back the over.
