New York Liberty vs Minnesota Lynx Prediction
The New York Liberty are going to get the benefit of the doubt, especially at home, and this is a must win game after dropping game 1. However, this line is insane when you consider how good the Lynx are and the fact they’ve won 4 of the last 5 games against the Liberty. The Lynx are 13-4 ATS in their last 17 games as an underdog, and 12 of those covers were outright wins. The Liberty are 5-9 ATS in their last 14 games when favorites of 5 or more points. As Ive said many times this season, the Lynx are legit. Give me the points.
