Liberty at Aces picks and predictions
Prediction
Liberty 90, Aces 86
NEW YORK (+126) has the best record in the W, yet it is a rather decisive underdog in Las Vegas (-154).
The Liberty already went to Mandalay Bay once and came away with an 8-point win as slight underdogs, and there is no reason to doubt New York can go out there and do it again. The Liberty picked up right where they left off with a 35-point rout of the Sparks Thursday.
If you’re a little on the conservative side, or feel the Aces -2.5 (-110) are going to win a close game, take LIBERTY +2.5 (-110) with the points. The better value is just taking New York straight up, however.
OVER 175 (-110) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most.
The Under did cash in the 1st meeting June 15, but Las Vegas is rested and should be able to score plenty of points. New York hit the century mark in its 1st post-break game, and it easily cashed the Over. The Over is 3-1 in the past 4 games.
