Atlanta at New York

First place New York has a showdown with second place Chicago on deck and a scrappy Atlanta team is in town. It's a tough situational spot for New York, a team that is home after playing nine of the last 14 away. The Liberty are headed back to the playoffs for the first time since 2012. They face a hungry Atlanta team that is on a 4-0 ATS run, plus rested and 5-0 ATS on two days of rest. The Atlanta Dream probably need to sweep their final five games to reach the postseason. The Dream are tied for second in the league with 78.2 points per game. Atlanta is 4-1 ATS following a victory, plus 4-1 ATS against a team with a winning record and look for a big effort by the big dog. Take the points on Atlanta.
