New York Liberty vs. Atlanta Dream Prediction

I’m on the Liberty and the points. I get the case to be made for either side in this game, but I think this is just a case of too many points for a Liberty team that’s probably the best 8-seed of almost any major sports league and the Liberty are a team I’ll take points with in a spot like this most nights. I think the Liberty are live to win this game, so give me New York and the points.
