Liberty vs. Storm Odds & Betting Predictions - May 31, 2023

This is a matchup between the fastest paced team (Storm) against the slowest paced team (Liberty). We are still dealing with a small sample of games and I think the pace numbers for Seattle are a bit inflated considering they have faced the Aces/Wings so far (2 teams that love to push the pace). Going forward, I expect them to be slightly above average in pace, but not lead the league. The Liberty have leaned on their elite defense early on and it could take a few more games for them to start to jell on offense. I think they win this game easy and keep the pace fairly slow. Seattle has the lowest eFG% in the league and all NY has to do here is slow down Jewell Loyd and it’ll be tough for Sea to put up points. I’m projecting this closer to 160
