New York at Phoenix

Phoenix has a full compliment of talent on board this season, and they like to run. They may have some frustrations here in doing so, as the contrasting half-court style of the New York Liberty will have their say on the tempo for this contest. The Liberty has had success controlling the tempo, as none of their nine games have gotten to this total this season, despite three overtime tilts. They have also now played 16 of their last 17 UNDER this total. Phoenix is just 6-5 to the OVER on the season, and the reputation makes the total tough to achieve, especially when there is a resisting force on the other side of the court. The Liberty are now 33-16-2 to the UNDER in their last 51 on three or more days of rest, and five of the last six meetings have failed to eclipse the total. Take the UNDER.
