WNBA Preview and Prediction: New York Liberty vs. Indiana Fever
Spread: New York -5.0 | Total: 171.5
New York Liberty
The Liberty are rolling and not just in a casual way. At 9-0, New York is off to its best start in franchise history and is now chasing WNBA immortality. Only three teams in league history have started a season with 10 or more consecutive wins, and New York is on the verge of joining that elite club.
Their most recent performance was a dominant 85-66 win over Chicago, where they opened the game with a 12-0 run and never looked back. Sabrina Ionescu was lights-out, dropping 23 points on 9-for-14 shooting after a rough shooting night previously. Even with Jonquel Jones sidelined due to an ankle issue, New York barely missed a beat, thanks to strong play from Nyara Sabally and Breanna Stewart up front.
Coach Sandy Brondello has emphasized focus and consistency, this team isn’t just playing to win games, they’re preparing for a repeat title run.
Indiana Fever
The Fever are getting a massive boost with the expected return of rookie sensation Caitlin Clark, who missed the last five games due to a quad injury. Indiana went 2-3 in her absence, including a tough 77-58 road loss in Atlanta where the team hit a season-low 36.2% from the floor.
Without Clark, Kelsey Mitchell stepped up in spurts, but she struggled last game, going just 5-of-16 from the field. Indiana could also get back another key contributor in Sophie Cunningham, who’s been out with an ankle injury since late May. She’s reportedly looked sharp in practice and could be cleared in time for Saturday’s matchup.
The last time these two teams met? A thriller. New York barely escaped with a 90-88 win in Indy, fueled by 26 from Jonquel Jones and 23 more from Ionescu, while Clark posted a double-double.
Prediction & Betting Angle
New York is too locked in to be slowed down right now. Even if Clark provides a spark, the Liberty’s depth, shooting, and experience should be the difference. Expect Indiana to keep things interesting, but New York stays perfect.
Score Prediction: New York 89, Indiana 80
Best Bet: New York -5.0
