New York Liberty vs Indiana Fever Prediction
This is an early start, and we could see some sluggish play from both sides. You’d also assume the Fever will figure things out as they gain more reps. However, the Fever aren’t playing well at the moment, struggling offensively, and they already got waxed by the Liberty a couple of days ago. The New York Liberty will make their home debut here and the place should be rocking given the expectations. Big line but for good reason. You can’t back the Fever with confidence given what we’ve seen through the first two Games. Give me the Liberty in a blowout.
