Liberty vs Storm Betting Tips
- New York Liberty -9.5
- New York Liberty to win the first quarter
- Under 167.5 points
Liberty Set To Cover Spread Once Again
New York have covered the spread set by the best betting sites in exactly half of their games this season. That is where we start our Liberty vs Storm tips. They have won the two contests against the Storm by an aggregate of 23 points.
Seattle has covered more often than not in 2023, yet they still place in the bottom two in net rating on the season. Their roster is simply lacking talent compared to this Liberty team, who have won six of their last seven.
Only two wins in that span have been by double digits. Looking at the Liberty vs Storm odds, there’s still value in taking the Liberty to cover this line. They have more than enough firepower to blow the Storm away.
Bet 1: New York Liberty -9.5
Seattle To Fall Behind Early On
The New York Liberty have held comfortable leads at the end of the first quarter in both of their previous games against the Storm.
Seattle is a brutal -19.5 per 100 possessions in the first quarter of games this season, which ranks second worst in the Association and makes for one of the better WNBA tips.
New York are +9.9 with the joint-best offence in the league in the opening period. Their offence has proven too powerful for Seattle in the first quarter of their last two matchups, and we are expecting that to be the case again this weekend.
The Storm have the worst first quarter offensive rating in the entire league. They have lost their last three first quarters.
Bet 2: New York Liberty to win the first quarter
Slim Chance of a Points Storm
These teams both had streaks of hitting the over prior to their matchup last weekend. The line was set at 170.5 for that contest, which turned out to be way too high. Only 147 points were scored.
Seattle have the worst offence in the league. New York’s defence is above average, and their offence is excellent. While they both play at a good pace, we are projecting this game to follow a similar pattern to the prior contest.
The last of our Liberty vs Storm predictions goes down this route. We don’t think Storm will score enough points to get us to this over, even with the exceptional efficiency of Jewell Loyd.
Bet 3: Under 167.5 points
