Liberty vs Aces Prediction
You don’t get the Aces often as an underdog, so I can see why one would be intrigued by this spot. However, the Liberty have won 9 of the last 11 games against the Aces, which includes a comfortable win on the road a week ago. The Aces shot 43 percent from the field and 30 percent from three. The Aces struggle consistently with the length of the Liberty, as they don’t get easy looks in the paint, and they lose the battle on the glass.
I’m also not interested in the Aces when Wilson is on the injury report. The Aces finally got Chennedy Carter back, but it means little if the best player in the league is dinged up. Regardless, the Liberty have owned this matchup over the last few years. At home, I’ll lay the bucket in the WNBA Commissioner’s Cup Championship.
