Liberty vs. Sky Prediction, Spread, Over/Under – Wednesday, June 17

New York overcame a 3-4 start, as G Sabrina Ionescu has played in just two games due to an ankle injury she suffered late in preseason. Ionescu returned for Sunday’s 86-64 blowout of the Mystics but scored 5 points in 25 minutes off the bench.

During their three-game home losing streak last month, the Liberty averaged 73.3 points per game (PPG). New York has stepped it up since, scoring at least 84 points in six of seven wins during this hot stretch, including 104 points in a decisive victory at Atlanta last Thursday.

Chicago looked to turn the page this season after trading F Angel Reese to Atlanta and showed flashes with a 3-1 start. Jackson, who was acquired from the Sparks in the offseason, averaged 18.0 PPG before suffering a non-contact knee injury in an 86-79 win at Minnesota on May 17.

Once Jackson’s season was over, it seems like Chicago’s chances at being in the playoff conversation ended as well. The Sky are 1-8 in the last month, and that lone victory came against Connecticut, who sits at 2-13.
