The Liberty are looking to rebound from a stunning collapse in Game 1, and while our WNBA betting picks believe New York will dig deep and even this series with the Lynx at 1-1, the best bet is for there to be points aplenty once again.
The Minnesota Lynx completed an historic comeback to defeat the New York Liberty in overtime in Game 1 of the WNBA Finals on Thursday, but the Liberty will look to even up the series in Sunday’s Game 2.
During the regular season, Minnesota allowed just 75.6 points, and New York allowed 76.5. In the playoffs, Minnesota has allowed 83.6, and New York has allowed 80.6. Both team’s defenses are giving up significantly more points, and despite Thursday’s huge scoring output, the total for Sunday is up by just two points.
I’m leery to take the spread in this one, but the point total feels like a reliable bet to hit the Over once again. was an X-factor for New York in Game 1. The 6-foot-6 center enjoyed some extra operating room with Collier doing her best to slow down Breanna Stewart and extra defensive attention paid to Sabrina Ionescu.
New York has had its hands full with Minnesota, but the Liberty haven’t lost back-to-back games since May, and they had Game 1 in hand until the final minutes. The -320 odds aren’t ones that I’m taking as a single wager, but I’m happy to use it as the anchor to this three-leg parlay.The Lynx are 31-17-1 ATS this season, and the team has covered in four of its last five.
