New York Liberty vs Chicago Sky Prediction
The New York Liberty are the better team, healthier and at home, so it’s no wonder why they’re massive favorites on Thursday night. The Chicago Sky are kind of going through a rebuild and could be without three players, which doesn’t help. I get it. However, the Liberty have been massive favorites 4 times this season and are 1-3 ATS. The Liberty have failed to cover 4 straight games as double-digit favorites and 6 of their last 7 as double-digit favorites. This is a lot of points, regardless of what you think of the Sky. Give me the road dog.
