New York Liberty vs. Indiana Fever Prediction

I’m on the Liberty here. I am not ready to give up on the Liberty just yet, as I think New York is still one of the more talented teams in the WNBA from top to bottom. The Fever have their moments where this team can go off on any given night, but I’ve been left underwhelmed with Indiana and the Liberty have a massive rest advantage coming into this game, while the Fever played on Friday. Give me the Liberty on the road here.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: New York -1.5
