Betnijah Laney-Hamilton Over 9.5 Points vs. Dream

I'm taking my queen, Betnijah Laney-Hamilton, over 9.5 points. She definitely is the longest tenured Liberty player on this roster. Just has been an absolute stud, scores at all three levels, didn't hit a three last game, but was very open.
I wouldn't be surprised if she hits three or four in this next game, but just too many opportunities to not get 10 points here, in my opinion. So, love her going over 9.5 points in Game 2.

Under 160.5

I love Seattle and Vegas to go under 160.5. Not because of that crazy fourth quarter (in Game 1), just because I do love the number and it's an elimination game.
Nneka Ogwumike played 39 minutes, attempted 17 shots in Game 1. She should be going over tonight in Game 2. And I mean, this is obviously, you know, if you don't win, your season is over. So to me, I think you can look at the volume disparity there. It's really, Skylar, Nneka, Gabby are getting the majority of shots right now.
I don't see that changing unless Jewell magically, I mean Jewell didn't even look comfortable out there in the first game. The Aces did let Mercedes Russell be open a little bit and then there were a couple times that the Aces went small.
You only you got six points off the bench from Jordan Horston. That was about it. So, I mean, overs with those two players does feel good. And you could even talk me into Gabby Williams if it was like eleven and a half.
