New York Liberty vs Atlanta Dream Prediction
This line is a bit strange when you consider the Atlanta Dream are playing for the last playoff spot and the New York Liberty are locked into the number 1 seed. While the Liberty didn’t announce any players sitting at the time of this writing, it wouldn’t be surprising to see them sit their key players with nothing on the line. I’d check the injury report before locking in anything, but I do expect the Liberty to not give their best effort in this spot. The Dream should win if that’s the case.
