First-place New York dispatched Washington by winning two in a row and now moves on to face Indiana. New York is tops in the WNBA in rebounds and points allowed, while the offense has topped 78 points in three straight. New York had to play last night but the Liberty are home and 6-1 ATS playing on no days rest. They face an Indiana squad that is #8 in rebounds, #11 in assists and #6 in points allowed. Indiana is only 5-6 straight-up over the last 11 games, and the Fever are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 Conference Finals games. The Eastern Conference Finals means defense will be needed and in this matchup New York was #1 in the WNBA in field goal shooting defense, allowing 39%, while Indian ranked fourth worst (44%). Take New York in game one.
