Fever vs Liberty Prediction
The Liberty as an underdog is always attractive given their pedigree and talent. At their best, the Liberty can beat anybody in the league. However, the Liberty are still down to rotation players, and they’ve played a lot of games close to the vest. The Liberty also have 8 road losses. The Fever are a tough out at home, and they smoked the Liberty last month by 20 points. Give the Liberty credit for winning 4 straight games and are starting to find their footing, but a lot of their recent success has come at home. I need to see it on the road. I’ll lay the reasonable number with the Fever at home.
