Prediction and Conclusion

The Atlanta Dream are going into this game with the season on the line and have a chance to reach the playoffs in the last game of the regular season. They can make it to the playoffs even if they lose in the Big Apple, but only if the Washington Mystics lose to the Indiana Fever at home. The New York Liberty are locked for the top seed in the East and will have the home-court advantage for the entire playoffs. The Liberty have won the last five games against the Dream. Given the stakes, they are only a -3.5-point favorite in this game, and that spread was -15.5 in their previous game against the Dream. Regardless of the different motive, both teams are going with in this game, the Liberty are a much better team, and we go with them to win this one.
