Connecticut Sun vs. New York Liberty Prediction

I’m on the Liberty in this game. I get that it’s a massive number but we’ve seen in the past in other Commissioner’s Cups, where point differential does matter as it’s the second tiebreaker after head-to-head record so it could come into play in a three-way tie. The Liberty are just the clear better team here and have won plenty of blowouts to date while the Sun got their first win over a Caitlin Clark-less Fever team and I think that they get a reality check here. Give me the Liberty.
