Liberty vs. Fever Prediction, Spread, Over/Under – Saturday, July 18
Indiana jumped out to a 17-point cushion on Friday night before Seattle stormed back to lead in the fourth quarter. Clark broke a 102-102 tie with her sixth 3-pointer of the night, as she and G Kelsey Mitchell combined to score 75 of Indiana’s 110 points.
The Fever play their third game in four nights this evening — and their second game with no rest this month. Hopefully we won’t see a late scratch for Clark, who sat out the second end of a back-to-back at Phoenix on July 9.
The Liberty last played on Sunday and were surprised by the expansion Tempo, 93-91, as 7.5-point road favorites. New York has slid down to the seventh spot in the overall standings but sits 1.5 games behind Atlanta and Indiana for the best record in the Eastern Conference.
In the first matchup this season in Brooklyn, the Liberty pulled away from the Fever, 83-75, to cash as 3.5-point favorites. Both teams shot below 40% from the floor, but New York benefited from hitting 33 of 40 free throw attempts.
New York plays five of the next six games on the road, as the Liberty try to snap a four-game skid away from Barclays Center. In all four losses, New York has trailed at halftime, so a better start is key tonight to beat Indiana for the fourth straight time.
