Indiana Fever vs New York Liberty Prediction

The New York Liberty are far and away the better team and will have the ability to blow the doors off in this spot. However, the Liberty did allow the Mystics to hang around in their opener, and they were sluggish shooting from the outside. It’s also still early in the season, and back to back road Games can’t be fun. We’re also getting the first Fever home Game, and you know that place is going to be rocking to see Caitlin Clark. Expect a crazy atmosphere that should give the Fever a bit of a boost to hang around in this Game. Give me the Fever and the free buckets.
