00:00Now for a Liberty and Storm game that we should chat about really fast before we get into
00:08all the drama that's going to go down tonight.
00:10You got the Liberty coming off Wednesday's shocking L. Listed as 12 and a half point
00:16favorites but the Sparks decided to snap their skids.
00:19So Storm have three different players that can rack up 16 plus points which is something
00:23you want to keep in mind when you're going against the top team in the WNBA at the moment
00:27or one of the top teams.
00:29So the Storm have a strong team but sometimes their performance is extremely questionable
00:33if it's not for Brianna Stewart completely throwing them on her back and getting all
00:37of the work done.
00:38Where am I going with all this?
00:39Well if the Storm don't commit to a bunch of turnovers we're not looking at an outright
00:44win but it's too testy on both sides here.
00:47Liberty need to keep up a strong performance.
00:49Storm have the ability to have a strong performance or to at least keep them on the ropes.
00:54So I don't like the money line on either side here.
00:57What I do really like is the Storm to cover the spread.
00:59This is one of those games that I mentioned that the lines have changed a good amount.
01:03Opened up at about one and a half went to two then as of this morning I was seeing three,
01:08three and a half.
01:09So see where you can grab it but regardless I don't think this is going to be any sort
01:12of blowout.
01:13I don't think that the Liberty are going to run away with a number of points ahead.
01:16I think the Storm can cover the spread.
01:18Not to mention is that I'm also liking the over on this one.
01:21You've got two teams that are actually very offensively sound.
01:24They can get to the point.
01:25Reminder, the Storm have three different players that can consistently put up 16 plus points.
01:30You're easily going to be seeing 70 plus points on both sides of these teams.
01:34Probably 80 plus more likely.
01:36So that's why I like the 163 and a half total for this matchup.
01:41Notable players and ASCU for the Liberty, somebody who I mentioned as I butchered her
01:45name that I actually liked in the MVP conversation before the Olympic break.
01:5084 points in her last five games, 22 rebounds, 22 assists.
01:55And something else that I mentioned, she can either come in for her team in the rebound
01:58category or she can show up and assist and start serving up the right ball to set her
02:02teammates up for success.
02:03So if they have a big night, I wouldn't be surprised to see her have some major numbers.
02:07Brianna Stewart carries her team.
02:09I think she had 32 points the other night in one of their losses, which has to be devastating
02:13to put in that much work and only get so far.
