Liberty vs fever preview & pick
The Game: NY Liberty vs indiana fever, 7 PM ET
| Team | Spread | Total | Moneyline |
|---|---|---|---|
| NY Liberty | -8.0 (-105) | O 169 (-112) | -305 |
| Indiana Fever | +8.0 (-115) | U 169 (-108) | +245 |
Josie's Take: Another top three team to face for Indiana, which is looking to avoid starting its season 2-0 for the fourth consecutive year.
However, I will note that the Liberty didn't soar away on the scoreboard against the Mystics, taking the gentle 85-80 win. Shooting just 28.6% from beyond the arc, New York wasn't as strong around the court. Breanna Stewart, last year's MVP, sunk just eight points. It was Jonquel Jones who put on a clinic, sinking 25 points to carry her team.
The Fever hold home court advantage, where the stadium will be rocking to cheer for their new budding star. Caitlin Clark, who had 10 turnovers in her debut, will need to patiently adjust. But, based on the Liberty's defensive tactics and lousy three-point attempts, I'll lay with Indiana.
Pick: Fever +8.0 (-115)
