Prediction and Conclusion
The New York Liberty are the team to beat this season in the WNBA. The Commissioner’s Cup slipped away, but it will be tough for any team in the league to stand in their way to the championship. New York is currently on a six-game winning streak, the longest active in the league. These two teams have split the last 10 head-to-head games, but at the moment, the Wings are not even close to winning this game. This will be another routine win for the Liberty, covering the -13.5-point spread.
