The Liberty have had trouble blowing teams out this year, and our WNBA expert suggests the Sparks shouldn't be this big an underdog at home tonight.The New York Liberty will look to close in on clinching the No. 1 seed in the WNBA Playoffs as they visit the struggling Los Angeles Sparks on Wednesday night.
But when it comes to the spread, there’s another story at play, one that I’ve talked about a lot this season when covering New York. The Liberty are winning, but they’re rarely scoring the kinds of blowouts you might expect against squads such as the Sparks. Meanwhile, the Liberty are 14-2 in their last 16 games. But during that stretch, New York has been a 10+ points favorite in six games and has covered only once in those contests. Even when they are pulling away from the entire league, the Liberty don’t seem able to assert themselves as much as we’d expect against the weakest teams in the league.
