The Liberty are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games playing on 1 days rest, 3-8-1 ATS in their last 12 Thursday games and 6-21-1 ATS in their last 28 games overall. The over is 7-2-1 in Fever last 10 overall. The Fever are 6-0 ATS in the last 6 meetings in New York and 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings.
Neither of these teams are playing great basketball obviously, but the Fever aren’t playing enough defense to blow teams out, so laying points here isn’t what I’m trying to do. The New York Liberty may be the worst team in the league, but they’ve shown recent signs of life and have covered some games as big underdogs. Give me the the points.
