New York Liberty vs. Seattle Storm WNBA betting preview
Date: Thursday, July 6
Time: 10:00 PM
Venue: KeyArena, Seattle, WA
Odds for fans who bet on WNBA: TBD
The Liberty extended their losing streak to three games with a 72-81 loss to the Dream on Sunday. Kia Vaughn gave New York a very early 2-0 lead but that was the last time the Liberty would ahead on the scoreboard. Tina Charles led NY with 21 points and Sugar Rogers scored all of her 11 points – including three treys – in the fourth quarter and the Liberty cut the deficit to six points on two occasions in the final minutes, but it was all for naught.
The Storm snapped a three-game skid with an 89-69 win over the Dallas Wings on Saturday. Breanna Stewart scored a season-best 30 points on 13 of 21 shooting and added 10 rebounds, while Crystal Langhorne had 19 points on 9-of-12 shooting and Sue Bird scored 12 points and had eight assists for 2,506 in her career – the second-highest in league history behind Ticha Penicheiro.
Indiana Fever vs. Atlanta Dream WNBA betting preview
Date: Friday, 7th July
Time: 7:30 PM
Venue: McCamish Pavilion, Atlanta, GA
Odds for fans who bet on WNBA: TBD
The Fever is coming off an 85-91 loss to the Sun on Saturday. Indiana made the first basket of the game but only found itself ahead again following two Erlana Larkins free throws with 2:48 left, which gave the Fever a one-point lead. However, a TO with 4.1 seconds remaining was the last nail in Indiana’s coffin.
The Dream lost their fourth game in the last five, an 84-94 loss to the Wings on Wednesday. Atlanta rallied from a 10-point deficit early in the fourth to make it 86-82 with 1:28 to go, but Dallas’ first four-point play of the season sealed the deal.
