Phoenix at New York

A 6-9 team is only getting about one basket from a 12-5 team. Seems like a trap to me and I'm not taking it. In fact, I like the 6-9 team quite a bit. The Liberty are coming off their worst home loss of the season, suffering a 15-point beat down at the hands of the league's worst team, Sacramento. Think New York will be motivated to show up here? Phoenix is dominant at home (9-2) but they are just 3-3 on the road this season, getting outscored by 5 points per game on average. Phoenix is a low-pressure team and that's exactly the type of team that New York has historically dominated. Versus teams that average under seven steals per game, the Liberty are 14-2 ATS the past three seasons. Finally, New York is 8-1 ATS the past two seasons after a double-digit loss. I like a motivated New York squad in this one.
