Prediction and Conclusion
The New York Liberty are the best team in the league, and they are coming off a win over the defending champion Las Vegas Aces, who beat them in four games in the last season’s WNBA Finals.

The Liberty are on a three-game winning streak at the moment and have won the last three against the Wings. Therefore, we go with the Liberty to cover the -9-point spread.
