Wings vs Liberty Prediction
The Wings played last night and could be without Bueckers, so check the injury report before betting. However, the Liberty have stunk for the last month, and their most recent game was a new low. The Liberty had a chance to make a statement, had the rest advantage, and still got smoked by the Fever. The Liberty aren’t defending, and some key names aren’t holding their weight. With Bueckers or not, the Wings have given the Liberty fits with their youth and pace. The Liberty is an aging team that struggles to keep up and play up-tempo. Heck, we just saw it with the Fever. Give me the points with the Wings regardless of Bueckers’ status.
