My Prediction
New York Liberty by 11So let's get straight to it. The Los Angeles Sparks have been getting decent numbers from Kelsey Plum and Dearica Hamby this season. Plum has been averaging a nice 20.6 points per game, but the team could use more of her magic. Hamby, meanwhile, contributing equally in points and rebounds.
Ah, the New York Liberty, favorite darlings of the day. Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu have been stealing the spotlight, and with good reasons. Stewart's been averaging 20.8 points per game this season, and Ionescu is not lagging far behind with 18.6.
Speaking of history, these two teams have been giving us a bit of a ping-pong. Looks like the Sparks had their sparks flying during their last meet, while the Liberty stood their ground in the three preceding encounters.
Now, let's shine some light on their performance this season. Sparks, my friends, are struggling with a sad 5-12, while Liberty are enjoying a pretty 11-5 run. Recent results paint a similar picture -- Sparks have had a rough patch, while Lady Liberty seems to stumble but still stay standing.
Can we ignore the elephant in the room, their positions? Sparks barely make the cut at #11 and Liberty manage to hold on to the magnificent #3. Is that a whiff of disparity I smell?
With all said and done, despite the Sparks' recent victory in the last showdown, the Liberty's overall performance and position seem to be leaning the scales.
