For the third time in the 2023 season, the New York Liberty will take on the Atlanta Dream.
These teams have split the first two meetings, with the road team winning each matchup.
New York and Breanna Stewart won the first meeting 106-83, but Atlanta showed it can hang with this team, winning in New York 86-79 in the second meeting.
Both of these teams have elite offensive players, with the Liberty showcasing Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu and Jonquel Jones. Atlanta counters with Allisha Gray and Rhyne Howard.
Let's dive into the odds and a best bet for Friday's rubber match:
Liberty vs. Dream odds, spread and total
Liberty vs. Dream prediction and pick
Both of these teams are in the top half of the WNBA in offensive rating, with New York clocking in at No. 2.
Atlanta has been a great OVER team all season, going 7-4 on overs this season while the Liberty are 5-4.
After combining for 189 and 165 points in the first two games against each other, I expect more of the same on Friday.
The Liberty are No. 2 in the league in field goal percentage, and both teams are in the top five in the league in 3-point percentage.
To top it off, Atlanta is No. 2 in the league in pace.
If this game is going to be uptempo, the elite offensive talent is going to shine once again. Let's root for points in Atlanta on Friday.
