Randy’s Free Pick
The Indiana Fever were able to hang around in their opener, but they lacked scoring depth outside of Mitchell and Boston, and that could be an issue that takes time to figure out. The New York Liberty has to be disappointed in their opener, and they also have to be thrilled for their season opener. With the star power in place for the Liberty and the expectations, expect a packed Barclays Center. A comfortable Liberty win wouldn't be surprising. I'll lay the potential chalk.
