Detroit at New York

The Detroit Shock has been a changed team from a year ago. They are playing without Plenette Pierson who is out for the year, and Kara Braxton who is one game back from a six-game suspension, and not in game shape yet has hurt. The Shock’s offense is near the bottom of the league in points, FG shooting, and three-point shooting, where a year ago they were at or near the top in all three categories. They have dropped all three games on the road, and as bad as the shooting has been, their road numbers are even worse, as they are hitting just 35.3% of their shots on the road, and that won't get it done in any league. They now come to New York to face the top defensive team in the league, in terms of FG percentage defense. The Liberty is the only team in the league holding opponents to under 40% shooting at 38.9%. I don't see the Shock’s offense responding against the top defense in the league, so I'll go with the Liberty here.
