My Prediction
New York Liberty by 2All right, my friends, let's break down this matchup between the New York Liberty and the Phoenix Mercury. Fierce, isn't it?
Starting with the Liberty, we've got Breanna Stewart who's been as dependable as a Swiss watch, with her last month's average sitting at 21.9 points per game. Not quite as stellar as my high school statistics, mind you, but who's comparing? Sabrina Ionescu follows closely with 20.9 points per game, proving that she's more than just a pretty face with a fancy dribble.
Rolling our eyes towards the Mercury, Alyssa Thomas stands out like a vegan at a barbecue with 13.0 points per game last month. A significant dip from her season's 14.4, but we've all had bad months, right? Don't answer that. Satou Sabally isn't too far either with an average of 19.1 points per game.
Checking their past matchups, it's clear that those games were as close as a hot day in Alaska, with each team trading blow for blow. But let's whip out the old magnifying glass and take a closer look at each team's regular season records. The Liberty have an outstanding 11-3 record, while the Mercury are just a notch below at 11-4. Both teams have been paying attention it seems.
Now, their recent results, as exciting as reading the phone book, show the Liberty dropping some points, while the Mercury seem to be on an upward trend like your cholesterol at Thanksgiving. Gotta keep things interesting, right? The Liberty occupies the #2 position in WNBA standings compared to the Mercury at #3, but folks, this is basketball, not a beauty pageant.
Taking all these facts, figures and my sarcasm into consideration, if I didn't know better, I'd say this one is going to be as tight as my budget after the holidays. But we aren't here for maybes, are we?
