Randy’s Pick

As Ive said twice in this series, the Liberty are going to be favored because they’re simply the better team, no matter how you slice it. However, the value will always be with the Sun and the points, given that they’re not that far off. The Sun are experienced, good offensively and were first in scoring defense this year. It’s hard to turn down the Sun in the underdog role, especially when they’ve played the Liberty twice in this series, including stealing game 1. At home, give me the Sun and the free buckets.
