Randy’s Free Pick
The New York Liberty have allowed teams to hang around despite their victories, and they’re coming off a brutal loss to the Sky where they were big favorites and had a huge halftime lead. The Atlanta Dream have been far more competitive in their recent games, and that includes taking Las Vegas down to the wire. At home, the Dream should be up for this one. Give me the points.
