Stephen Nover's WNBA Tuesday Totals Crusher - 86% WNBA Hot Streak
(WNBA) Dream (ATL) vs. Liberty (NY),
Total: 156.00 | -112.00 Over
Result: Win
Total: 156.00 | -112.00 Over
Result: Win
New York averaged 85.6 points during the regular season. I don't see the Liberty being held below that total at home in this close-out Game 2 spot of their first-round playoff game.
Atlanta is a good defensive team. The first game of this two-out-of-three series went Under with the Liberty winning, 83-69, last Sunday.
New York has too many superstars for the Dream to handle with Sabrina Ionescu, Breanna Stewart and Jonquel Jones.
If the Dream fall behind by double-digits - which is expected to happen - they will be forced to pick up tempo knowing a loss eliminates them.
Atlanta shot 40 percent from the floor and made only 3-of-16 from 3-point range in Game 1. Allisha Gray, arguably the Dream's best player, had a bad game scoring only nine points on 3-of-9 shooting. She averages 15.6 points a game.
The Dream just don't have Gray. Rhyne Howard is one of the better players in the league and center Tina Charles is an all-time great. She can hurt the Liberty inside. The Dream outscored the Liberty, 38-28, in the paint. The Dream just need better perimeter shooting. Gray and Howard are more than capable of providing that.
