Liberty vs Fever Prediction
The Fever are coming off probably their best showing of the season, and maybe they can build on that. The Fever had a team meeting and came out and actually defended. The problem is we’ll see if that can carry over to the road. The Fever have gotten fat and happy to start the season, as 6 of their first 9 games have come at home. The Liberty are starting to show signs of being the Liberty we expected to see from the jump. Granted, it was against bad teams, but 3 straight wins are 3 straight wins. The talent is there. I’d assume a big game against a team on the rise will bring the best out of the Liberty. I’d need more points to consider the Fever. I’ll lay the points with New York.
