Randy’s Pick

The New York Liberty are still the only team in the league that consistently gave the Aces issues, so I wouldn’t overreact to game 1 just yet. With that said, this line is rather soft when you consider how dominant the Aces have been overall and the fact they have yet to lose in these playoffs. The Aces were too comfortable in their game 1 victory and 4 of their 6 playoff wins have been decided by double digits. I’m going to ride the hot hand and side with the Aces.
