Game of the Week WNBA 10*
(WNBA) Minnesota vs. New York,
Point Spread: 6.00 | -110.00 Minnesota (Away)
Result: Win
ASA top play on 10* Minnesota Lynx +6 at NY Liberty, 8 PM ET - The Liberty are clearly a contender this year and a solid team, but they also have some favorable statistics as a result of playing a weak schedule. In fact, the Liberty schedule is the second weakest in the entire W. They play in the Eastern Conference which isn’t as good as the West from top to bottom. They have three losses this season, two of which came against Western Conference opponents the Mercury and this same Lynx team. Minnesota is 13-3 SU on the season and have the best Net Rating in the WNBA, slightly ahead of this Liberty team, but again, the Lynx have faced the much tougher schedule. Minnesota has the #1 defense in the league and are 3rd in Offensive Net Rating. The Lynx have the best average point differential in the league at +10.6PPG, the Liberty are second at +9.0PPG. These two teams met in late May in Minnesota and the Lynx dominated the Liberty with an 84-67 win. We like Minnesota here and wouldn’t be shocked if they won outright.
