WNBA Playoffs: Liberty vs. Mercury Prediction and Odds
The New York Liberty have one of the most popular players in the WNBA in Sabrina Ionescu, and she finally gets to show the world what she can do when the bright lights are on. Ionescu missed almost all of last season with an ankle injury, but she’s healthy and ready to lead the Liberty on a “Cinderella” run to the Finals.

Phoenix has a much different story. The Mercury are led by Brittney Griner, Skylar Diggins-Smith and Diana Taurasi -- all who’ve been here before. The Mercury haven’t been to the Finals since 2014, but with an experienced core trio, they are certainly equipped to make a run.

Liberty vs. Mercury Prediction and Pick
Phoenix should handle the Liberty fairly easily. The Liberty were 12-20 during the regular season and were near the bottom in points scored and points allowed. Their one hope is that their 3-point shots fall (third in 3-point percentage in the regular season) and keep them in the game.
The Mercury have +900 odds to win the title this season, and getting to play a young, inexperienced team like the Liberty certainly helps. Although it’s a one game elimination, I expect Phoenix to get the job done tonight.
