Los Angeles at New York

This is a long road trip for Los Angeles: 3,000 miles to New York and they face a Liberty team that is fourth in the WNBA in field goal shooting defense allowing 45% shooting. The UNDER is 8-3 in the New York Liberty's last 11 home games, as well as 13-5 UNDER in their last 18 against the Western Conference. This is the fifth straight road game for Los Angeles and they've lost three of four with some poor shooting performances, looking like a tired road team. They turned it over 18 times in a loss at Minnesota and 19 times in a defeat at Chicago. The UNDER is 7-1 in the Sparks' last eight against a team with a losing record, and 5-1 UNDER in their last six games playing on one days rest. When New York faces a winning team, the Liberty if 10-4 UNDER the total. Los Angeles will be happy to slow the pace down as they wind up this long road trip, and New York is only a half game behind Chicago for the final playoff spot, so look for a strong defensive effort. And when these teams meet the UNDER is 6-2 the last eight meetings, as well as 4-1 UNDER the total in the last five meetings in New York.
