YTD: 20-13
Only a few days left on the first part of the season before we have a small break due to the ASG. Doesnt look like a full week off though and these teams are really slamming these games in a hurry it appears. Some with favourable schedules and others not. Tonight I will be backing the Liberty against the Aces. Reason being is that the Liberty get Dangerfield back (she was rushed in last game) and although her stats aren¡¯t amazing, she has definitely brought some energy to this team when they were down and out. Aces coming off some rest but did not look good on their recent road trip and the Aces have won the last 4 meetings but DD¡¯s but I do see the Liberty trying to slow the game down and not playing to the pace of the Aces. Brondello under Mercury had a decent record against the Aces, going 10-7 SU and 12-4-1 ATS. She doesn¡¯t have Griner or and in form Taurasi this time around but she does have Ionescu, Howard, Johannes and a decent supporting cast to try and keep this game within the number.
Liberty @ Aces: Liberty +11.5
