3 Betting Tips For Liberty vs Lynx Matchup

1. Stewart Gets Some Help

Two-time WNBA Finals Most Valuable Player Breanna Stewart figured to bring it in Game 2 after a missed free throw and a missed layup played a huge role in New York giving away Game 1. While her shooting was still a little off, it is hard to argue with 21 points, eight rebounds, five assists and seven steals as the Liberty raised the defensive intensity.

Betnijah Laney-Hamilton averaged 5.9 points in the first seven playoff games before coming through with 20 points in the Game 2 win. The Liberty is hard to beat when Laney-Hamilton is looking for her own shot.

Stewart is only 13-for-39 in the first two games and she is too talented offensively for that to continue. Stewart can’t do it alone.

New York has won its last 11 games when Sabrina Ionescu has at least 20 points. There are +204 sports betting odds for Ionescu to have 20+ points in a win by the Liberty.

2. Look For Liberty vs Lynx Game To Land Under

Minnesota hasn’t lost back-to-back games since early July. The Lynx won 77-70 and 88-77 against the Connecticut Sun following a loss in the postseason. Can the Lynx do the same against New York?

Minnesota’s Napheesa Collier, the top scorer in this year’s playoffs, had only 12 field-goal attempts in the Game 2 loss. Alanna Smith was the only Minnesota player to shoot better than 50% from the field and that left the Lynx with little chance to head home with a 2-0 lead.

The last three times that Minnesota has been listed as the home underdog, the game landed under the total.

Don’t be surprised to see the game go under 161 points.

3. McBride and Ionescu Could Deliver As Part of A Parlay

As talented as Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier are, the Liberty and Lynx didn’t make it this far by being one-player teams. Let’s look at a possible three-legged WNBA parlay bet that does not include the team’s top players.

Leonie Fiebich looked unstoppable in Game 1 when she hit five 3-pointers. Minnesota did a much better job on her in Game 2 with Fiebich having three points on 1-of-3 shooting. She had scored in double figures in the previous three playoff games and has -103 odds to have at least 10 points.

Kayla McBride is very quietly putting up 13.9 points per game in this year’s playoffs. She scored in double figures in all four games against New York during the regular season and there is good value at +100 for her to have at least 14 points.

Ionescu is averaging 22.5 points in New York’s six playoff wins so let’s complete the parlay with Ionescu at +102 to have at least 19 points.

Bet on Leonie Fiebich 10+ Points, Kayla McBride 14+ Points and Sabrina Ionescu 19+ Points in a Parlay (+700)
