Liberty Struggled In Last Game

The Liberty really struggled in the last game scoring only 64 points and that led to the eight point defeat at the hands of the Connecticut Sun. Breanna Stewart was the top player putting up 15 points but overall the offense wasn’t good enough. The Liberty are averaging 85.5 points while their defense is giving up 75.8 points per game. The offense is ranked 2nd while the defense is ranked 3rd. In this game the offense needs to get out to a faster start. Breanna Stewart is averaging 19.6 points while shooting 44.7 percent from the field. 

Mercury Pulled out Close Game

It wasn’t the prettiest game in the last game, but the Mercury were able to pull out the 82-80 victory. At the end of the first half they were up 24-17 and they held on late for the victory. Brittney Griner had a huge game putting up 22 points, six rebounds, and six assists. There were three different layers that put up at least 12 points. The Mercury are averaging 83.3 points while their defense is giving up 84.3 points per game. The offense is ranked 4th in the league while the defense is ranekd 9th. Kahelah Copper is averaging 11.6 points while shooting 41 percent from the field and 30.7 percent from behind the three point line. 

New York Liberty vs Phoenix Mercury Prediction

The Liberty struggled in the last game and the way their offfense was I have some major concerns here. Griner scored 22 points in the last game and she’s going to have another huge game here. The Liberty’s offense is going to struggle to score here, and it’s going to be the Mercury that are going to end up cruising to the victory. Back the Mercury against the spread here.
