NEW YORK – The undefeated New York Liberty will host the Chicago Sky for some Tuesday night WNBA action in the Commissioner’s Cup Pool.

Sky vs. Liberty Game Odds

Team Spread Moneyline Total
Sky +17.0 (-105) +850 O 165.0 (-110)
Liberty -17.0 (-115) -1800 U 165.0 (-110)

The Liberty sit atop the WNBA standings as one of two teams to remain unbeaten, the other being the Minnesota Lynx. Chicago is just 2-5, one game out of last place in the Eastern Conference.

Legal sports betting sites list the Liberty as huge favorites, giving them a 17-point cushion and -1800 odds to win outright.

While the 17-point spread can be daunting for bettors, that is likely the only place to get value out of this game, and the Liberty have shown the ability to cover that margin.

New York leads the league in scoring by a significant amount, averaging 91.1 points per game. The next closest team is the Atlanta Dream, averaging 84.6. The Sky are second to last in scoring offense, putting up just 77.4 points per game.

On the defensive side, the Liberty boast the league’s best scoring defense, allowing just 72.1 points per game, while the Sky are dead last, giving up 90.1 points per game.

Neither team is a stranger to blowouts, as New York already has four 20+ point wins through their first eight games, while the Sky have suffered three 20+ point losses in seven games.

The two teams have faced each other once this season, resulting in a 25-point victory for the Liberty with a final score of 99-74.

The Liberty enter the game coming off a 12-point win over the Washington Mystics, while the Sky lost their last game to the Indiana Fever by 25 points.

All trends point toward another blowout, and bettors should feel confident laying the points with New York to cover the spread at -115 odds.
