Fever vs Liberty Prediction
The Fever and the free bucket are worth a look when you consider their success at home and the Liberty’s struggles overall. However, this is a massive schedule spot that favors the road team. The Fever played last night, and Blinngs, Timpson, Mitchell, and Clark logged heavy minutes. Who knows if Boston will be able to go. Meanwhile, the Liberty have had 6 days off after their game against the Wings was postponed. If the Liberty can’t use this to their advantage to stop the bleeding, it might be time to hit the panic button in Brooklyn. I’ll lay the bucket with the Liberty.
