New York Liberty vs Chicago Sky Bet Builder Tips: Sky Can Stay Competitive

Chicago Sky +12.5

Even while sitting four games below .500, the Chicago Sky have done a great job against the spread this season. They have upped their game of late, winning four of their last seven contests, which is good for a +3.9 net rating (fourth-best in the league) across that period.

New York put in their best performance of the season to blowout the Aces in their previous outing, but their record against the spread is unimpressive. They have covered this number just twice in their last 14 games.

When these teams met earlier this year, the Liberty won by a single point in the first game and lost by four in the second.

Chicago Sky over 77.5 points

The Sky boast the league’s best offence over the last seven games, having reached triple digits in three of their previous four contests. Their 59% true shooting is only bettered by the Las Vegas Aces.

An increased pace has seen the Sky’s production increase in recent weeks. While the Liberty have a good defence and have held their opponents under 70 points in three straight games, this line still seems on the low side.

Chicago has gone over this number in seven of their last eight and scored 86 in their last game against the Liberty.

New York Liberty Moneyline

While we fancy Chicago to be competitive in this one, the Liberty’s superior talent should see them notch another win. They are full of confidence after an utterly dominant performance against the Aces and benefit from a couple of extra days to rest.

New York has the best net rating over the last seven games and has ranked among the league’s elite teams all season long. While Chicago has shown meaningful signs of improvement and got some big wins, they have just one win against the top three teams.
