Liberty vs. Aces Game 4 Prediction
Take New York. The Liberty have owned the Aces this season. Yes, Las Vegas staved off elimination two nights ago with a 95-81 blowout over New York. That said, the rest of the matchups this season have been all Liberty. Before that loss on Friday night, the Liberty had rattled off five straight wins over the Aces. Twice the Liberty were underdogs over that span and they won 90-82 on June 15 and 79-67 on August 17.
I’ll take the points just to have in my back pocket, but I’m not sure I’ll need them.
Liberty vs. Aces Game 4 WNBA Prediction: New York Liberty +3.5
