Randy’s Pick

The New York Liberty should be favorites for obvious reasons, as they’re the clear better team that’s playing its best ball of the season. With that said, this is a ton of free points to just throw a Sky team at home that’s fighting with the Sparks for the last playoff spot. The Sky aren’t just going to roll over, and 2 of the 3 meetings this season were competitive, which includes a Chicago win in one of those efforts. Give me the points.
