Randy’s Pick

As I’ve said before, the New York Liberty are capable of a blowout victory, especially at home. However, the Liberty have had trouble putting teams away despite their success, and it’s led to a lot of failed covers. Also, the Liberty are on the end of a rare back to back, which could lead to tired legs. The Lynx have shown fight for much of the season, and they need to start winning if they’re going to stay in the playoff conversation. Lots of points. Give me the Lynx and free buckets.
