San Antonio at New York

The New York Liberty are a bit deceptive at just 2-4 on the season. They have a lot of good pieces, especially after acquiring Tina Charles, who is a double-double machine. The four losses on the season have come against teams that are a combined 18-6 on the season, and all of them are at least .500. The Liberty has disposed of the two teams on their schedule with losing records by 27 total points, and have covered both of them. San Antonio, at 3-4, does not represent the resume of the teams that have given the Liberty trouble. San Antonio will represent an opportunity for the Liberty to run as the Stars have allowed 74 or more points to every team they have seen this year, and expect the Liberty to get up and down early in this game and provide for a much higher scoring first half then we usually see from them as they have the talent advantage here, and a willing partner to play uptempo. Last three games, teams have come out running vs. San Antonio producing an average of 86.7 first half points, as the Stars have allowed an average of 47 points in the first half. Make the play on New York and the first half OVER the total.
