WNBA: Monday
- Thread starter superbook
- Start date
Here's my plays for today:
BEST BET: Los Angeles Under 149
LA is the walking wounded and ORL is tired after flying in this morning after playing last night in SAC.
Sparks coach Cooper seems to be putting more focus on D as LA attempts to two-peat.
LA's five starters typically play 30+ minutes which means they're in a bit of trouble tonight as their starters are hurting. Center Leslie has a sore ankle; she's probable but hobbled off after Saturday night's game when she fouled out after 23 minutes. Leading scorer Mwadi Mabika dislocated a finger on her shooting hand in Saturday's game but taped it up and came back in. I'm sure the finger is not 100%. #6 player Latasha Byears is reportedly out with a fractured right knee (one source listed her as probable?)
REGULAR PLAYS: Orlando +12.5 and Cleveland +6
One of these two dogs will cover.
ORL just isn't that bad, they hung in there on the road last night vs an improved SAC team. IMO LA is overrated.
CLE is coming off a terrible shooting performance (26% FG, including 2-20 from the arc) vs a tough LA D but only lost by 8 70-62. CLE has won five straight vs the Liberty including a sweep last year and two fairly convincing wins vs NY already this year, one in CLE and the other at the Garden (67-58).
For the Liberty this is the 4th game in 6 days. "Every time we've got four games in six days it's rough on this team," Liberty Coach Richie Adabuto said. "I've got to use the bench, but I've got a young bench."
If NY manages to win, I still think CLE will cover.
