Chicago Sky vs. New York Liberty Prediction

I’m on the Sky and the points here. I think the Liberty win this game, but the thing is that New York has been a tough team to back as a sizeable favorite this season. The Sky have been on the wrong side of some serious blowouts in fairness, but this is a different team in Chicago when they have their big pieces like Atkins and Reese back in the lineup. It’ll be interesting to see how the Sky handle things now that they’ve officially been eliminated from playoff contention, but I think this is just a case of too many points. Give me the Sky and the points here.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Chicago +14.5
