New York Liberty @ Seattle Storm: Storm -7.5
New York Liberty @ Seattle Storm: Storm -7.5The line seems about right given the fact the Liberty are missing some many players for this game. The Storm are also a little injury struck but I love Whitcomb and so glad she was given the start. She has so much potential and I have seen her shine in the WNBL for several seasons now. Good to see Hughes using her a lot more. Also expect Natasha Howard to have a big game considering she didnt have the best game against Mercury. NY are almost hobbling with their rotations, and with the Storm coming off 3 games now at home where they haven't covered (Fever, Sky and Mercury) I think its time we see them cover. Their defense is awesome, top of the league and whilst the NY team have played with their hearts lately, this game is just a bad spot for them. The Storm had to endure a tough start to the season with 7 of their opening 9 games on the road. Now they are 3 games into a 6 game homestand. The Liberty don't have that luxury, they are second game into a 3 game road trip which ends in Phoenix on Friday night and then they head back home for the Aces followed by 2 more road games in Chicago and and then back to Seattle. Kia Nurse, Charles and Durr are carrying this Liberty team, and I think they can only carry for so long. I think we see a double digit win today for the Storm as the Storm beat the Liberty 3-0 last season, winning by 8, 16 and 15 so Hughes knows exactly how to play this team even if he is missing 3 of his starters.
