Saturday WNBA Research
By IndianCowboy
Indiana vs. New York
New York enters this game as a 7 point favorite and with love from over 58% of the public, Indiana first beat this team 83-69 on june 19th and easily covered at home, new york then beat this team by 6 in triple over time as these 2 teams went back and forth in the longest game in wnba history, thus, this is revenge game for Indiana, Indiana comes off a 6 point outright loss to Seattle at home despite Seattle not having Lauren Jackson for the ballgame, Indiana also lost to Atlanta outright at home as well, it seems the Liberty have turned the corner as New York has covered 5 straight ballgames, beat Conn outright on the road, drilled Washington at home by 21, beat Detroit at home, lost to San Antonio on the road but covered, beat Phoenix at home and of course beat the Sparks outright on the road in a massive 4th quarter come back and once again winning outright despite being a 9.5 dog. I lean on New York given how well they are playing, but I have to respect Indiana's revenge factor and the 7 points b/c Indiana did go to triple overtime on this same floor recently. Of course, watch new york drill this team today, but no thanks, staying away.
Minny vs. San Antonio
67% riding the Silver Stars here, San Antonio beat this team by 7 at home earlier this year, minny beat this team by 12 at home before that, Minny comes off a tough 8 point loss on the road to Houston, but that was a revenge game for Houston, Minn is off a loss and has revenge here, San Antonio comes off a nice win at Phoenix, but they are great road covers and they have a tendency to win and fail to cover at home, they did that against Atlanta, New York and Sacramento, where they win, but fail to cover, likely the case here as well - I think Minny could hang within the 7 year, but hate going against the silver stars at home, but it makes sense here, you might need your tums on this one, but is at a 25% outright win for minny where they are likely to lead during portions of this game.
LA vs. Houston
Any team going into Houston has to worry, this team is 10-12 but 7-2 at home and all their wins come of late now they have figured how to finish ballgames with the mix of new and old they have. L.A. beat this team in overtime earlier this year, back on July 9th, and Los Angeles does come off a tough loss to Phoenix on the road, and they have lost their last 3 road covers, Houston has come back home where they have covered 3 straight and the only team to beat the Silver Stars on 3 occasions this year, I think the public is wrong here and the home team comets get it done as they take away the 3 game road trip they had and they have won 6 of their last 7 ballgames.
Atlanta vs. Phoenix
If you like high scoring ballgames, than this is your cup of team which sits at 185.5 which is a massive line for the wnba, just to give you some reference, an Indiana game is typically around 144 for a line. Atlanta fell short by 18 last time but expect them to play much better today as they have been great double-digit dogs on the road thus far, 60% of the public favors Phoenix but incorrectly in my opinion, people forget all that the Dream have done lately after their first win against Chicago, check out the numbers: they are on a up tick:
After winning against Chicago for their first win, they have rolled to 4 of 5 covers, and the one cover they failed, was agaisnt Chicago which Chicago of course had revenge. So, in reality to me, they have covered 4 in a row and they still get a double-digit spread here.
07/18/08 @SAC L 73-77 W 9
07/16/08 @IND W 81-77 W 10.5
07/13/08 @CHI L 66-79 L 5.5
07/11/08 @SA L 74-82 W 10.5
07/09/08 @MIN W 73-67 W 11
I think the Dream make a shocker and has a great shot at cover, and who knows, maybe even win this baby outright.
