WNBA Semifinals: Liberty vs Aces Game 3 Picks & Prediction

Prediction
Final Score: Liberty 87 - Aces 82
No team in WNBA postseason history has ever come back from a 2-0 deficit during a best-of-five series. In fact, only the Phoenix Mercury managed to force a Game 5 in 2018. While those stats may not have much bearing on tonight's contest, New York has all the momentum. The Aces aren’t the dominant force they were last season, and although I expect them to put up a fight, I’m leaning toward a Liberty sweep.

Betting & Game Information
Spread: Aces (-3) | Moneyline: Liberty (+124), Aces (-152) | Total: 164.5 | Date & Time: Friday, Oct. 4 at 9:30 p.m. ET | Location: Michelob Ultra Arena in Paradise, Nevada | Where to Watch: ESPN2 (TV), Fubo (Live Stream)
Best Bet: Liberty Moneyline (+124)
The Liberty have won five straight meetings against Las Vegas and boasted a league-best 16-4 road record during the regular season. While the Aces should get a boost from playing in front of their home crowd, New York's recent dominance of the champs is impossible to overlook, making Sandy Brondello's squad a solid value at plus money.
Prop Bet: Sabrina Ionescu OVER 19.5 Points (+100)
New York's Sabrina Ionescu led the way in Game 2, pouring in a team-high 24 points. Ionescu has scored at least 20 points in three straight postseason games, averaging 27.0 PPG over that stretch.
