Sun at Liberty picks and predictions

Prediction

Liberty 80, Sun 72

Moneyline

With the Liberty rested and at home, I don’t expect an upset here. If the Sun had not just played a barn burner Friday night, I would consider taking them since it’s really hard to beat a team 4 straight times in the regular season. In this case, it would be 9 straight times since 2023.

That said, -300 is too much for my blood. Instead, let’s SGP BREANNA STEWART 12 POINTS + LIBERTY -4.5 ( -146 ) at a better price. As mentioned, she has 13+ in 27 straight.

Against the spread

The Liberty won by 8 on their home court against the Sun last time, and with the rest advantage, I’m pegging them to do it again.

Take LIBERTY -7.5 ( -110 ) for a HALF-UNIT .

Over/Under

The Liberty are averaging 85 PPG in their 8-game winning streak and really only blew that number out twice. They’re consistently in that 80-85 range, and they’d have to hit 90 to cash an Over here. New York’s last 3 games went Under, and Connecticut has cashed an Under in 2 of 3.

Take the UNDER 156.5 ( -105 ).
