Liberty vs Tempo Prediction
The Liberty beat up on the Mercury twice, and all of a sudden are laying massive lines again. I’m not buying it. The Liberty have underachieved up to this point, and they could still be without Ionescu. The Liberty have also struggled as big favorites, which includes being 3-12 ATS in their last 15 games when favorites of 7 or more points. This is also a revenge spot with Sandy Brondello coming back to New York after being wrongfully fired by the Liberty. I’m sure these Toronto players would love to get a win here on top of it being a Commissioner’s Cup game. Give me the points.
