New York at Chicago

Most expected that Britney Griner would have the greatest rookie impact this season, but she has been out-played by Elena Delle Donne of the Sky. Delle Donne has averaged 29.4ppg, 5.7rpg, and adds a pair of blocks and steals to fill the stat sheet. The Sky has been on the move, especially at home where they have lit up the scoreboard for 86 or more points in five of their seven played here. I think, however, they are in a huge letdown spot vs. a team that will be playing with anger. The Sky just humiliated the Liberty by 20 points on the road on Thursday. The Liberty certainly will consequently come to this contest with more energy, and they have been at their best off a day of rest where they are 4-0 ATS in their last four overall. These teams have also played ABOVE the total to a 6-2-1 mark in the last nine in Chicago. Think the intensity level of the Sky is not there here, and that opens the door for some quick scores by the Liberty, and for them to make a game out of this. Play on New York, and the OVER.
