The New York Liberty are averaging 106 points on 52.2 percent shooting and allowing 75 points on 38.8 percent shooting. Breanna Stewart is averaging 31 points and 2 assists, while Marine Johannes is averaging 17 points and 5 rebounds. Julie Vanloo is the third double-digit scorer, and Betnijah Laney-Hamilton is dishing 4 assists. The New York Liberty are shooting 32.3 percent from beyond the arc and 83.9 percent from the free throw line. The New York Liberty are allowing 18.2 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 37 rebounds per game.
The Washington Mystics look for another win after beating Toronto in their season opener. The Mystics look for back-to-back 2-0 starts to a season.

The Mystics will be without Cotie McMahon, Michaela Onyenwere, Alex Wilson, and Alicia Florez Getino.
The Liberty will be without Sabrina Ionescu due to an ankle injury.
The Mystics showed some things in their season opener, winning on the road in Toronto’s debut. It’s a massive step up in competition here with the Liberty coming to town. The Liberty are still down Ionescu, but I’m still surprised this line is this soft. As I said in my previous write-up, the Liberty are the best team in the league on paper and are going to have games that are a crime scene. We just saw it against the Sun. You’re not going to get the Liberty and lines this soft often. While it does feel a bit suspicious, I’ll lay the bet with the Liberty on the road.
