New York Liberty vs. Seattle Storm Prediction

I’m on the Liberty here. I know the Storm are a strong team when they’re at home, but the problem is that the Storm are not a good enough rebounding team to take advantage of the Liberty’s deficiencies on the glass without Jonquel Jones in the lineup, as she’s expected to miss 4-6 weeks with an ankle issue that she re-aggravated. The Liberty off of a loss is normally an auto-bet and this team doesn’t stay down for long when they get knocked down. I’ll back New York in this one.
