New York Liberty vs. Toronto Tempo Prediction
I’m on the over in this game. I get the case to be made for either side as Toronto is banged up and have had defensive issues all season but the Liberty are also laying a huge number in Toronto’s last home game of the season. That being said, the Liberty have played in a ton of overs on the road this season and the Tempo even short-handed, are good enough to get up and over this number. Give me the over here.
Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Over 177.5
