The New York Liberty split a home and home with the Chicago Sky over the weekend ahead of playing against the Minnesota Lynx on Wednesday night.
The Lynx are in a tough spot, starting this season just 1-6 with Natalie Achonwa and Diamond Miller out of the lineup due to injuries.
The team is 11th in net rating this season, really struggling on the defensive end with a 106.7 defensive rating.
Can the Lynx pull off a road upset against a stacked Liberty team that features Sabrina Ionescu, Breanna Stewart and Jonquel Jones?
Here's a look at the odds and my best bet for this game:
Lynx vs. Liberty odds, spread and total
Lynx vs. Liberty prediction and pick
I love the Liberty in this game, as they've been one of the league's best teams ranking fourth in defensive rating, fourth in offensive rating and second in net rating.
The Liberty have a ton of star power, and Stewart has been going off, shooting 40.0 percent from 3, 52.7 percent from the field and averaging 23.7 points per game.
Not having Miller (10.4 points per game) certainly hurts the Lynx, who need to score at a high rate to win this game since they've been awful on defense.
Minnesota has allowed at least 77 points in every game this season, although it did pick up a win in its last game against the Washington Mystics.
The issue? Washington is a one-headed attack, relying heavily on Elena Della Donne. The Liberty are much more balanced and should be able to win this game going away at home.
