Randy’s Pick
The New York Liberty are the better team at home, and a blowout victory wouldn’t be surprising. However, the Liberty have allowed teams to hang around all year, and 6 of their last 7 wins have been decided by single digits. Also, the Fever took the Liberty to overtime a little over a week ago. The Fever have shown some feistiness at times, and they’re still in the playoff race, so I don’t expect them to quit. Lot of points. I’ll take a shot with the road dog.
