This is a 10* on NEW YORK

The Liberty are catching a ton of points Tuesday and are at home against the Mystics. Yes, we fully realize where each team is at in the standings right now, but it's just too many points to lay on the road. Even with the best record in the league, Washington is only outscoring teams by 11.8 points/game this year. They've won eight of nine and did beat the Liberty by 29 a little over a week ago. As for the Liberty, they've lost four in a row and went 1-11 in August. But still ... you just don't see WNBA team asked to lay this many points on the road very often. The Mystics scoring differential shrinks to +4.3 points per game on the road as they give up 80 PPG. So they are nowhere near as dominant on the road. This is their second road game in four days. They're short-handed with starter Kristi Toliver and backup PG Ariel Atkins both injured. As bad as things have gotten for the Liberty, they'll show up today. Play on NEW YORK
