Dream and Liberty Battle in WNBA Action Tuesday
Liberty and Dream Looking to Shake Subpar Performances
The Atlanta Dream and the New York Liberty will meet on Tuesday at Westchester County Center. Both teams experienced frustrating weekend trips to Midwest cities. They will be looking to put those games behind them starting tonight.
Oddsmakers opened the Liberty as -4.5-point favorites versus the Liberty, while the game’s total opened at 151.5. The line now is New York -6 and the total is sitting at 150.5.
New York took two of three meetings with Indiana last season and has won 11 of the 14 games with Atlanta.
Liberty Hoping Close Games Start Going Their Way
New York (3-6) began the season with seven straight games decided by six points or fewer. They are coming off consecutive losses by double-digit margins and look to prove that was off-kilter.
The Liberty trailed by 26 in a 78-63 home loss to the Las Vegas Aces on Wednesday. They followed it up by trailing by 24 in an 85-71 setback at Minnesota on Saturday.
The Liberty are hoping they can shore up their interior defense and rebounding after a dismal showing in both areas lately.
They allowed 42 points in the paint on 21-of-30 shooting while scoring only 22 points inside. New York also was outrebounded 35-22. It resulted in a 19-3 disparity in second-chance points. The team could not stop Minnesota star Sylvia Fowles from constantly getting layups in a 25-point night.
Offensively, the Liberty are hoping for more support for Tina Charles. She scored a season-low 12 points on 5-of-14 shooting. No One else reached double figures. The Liberty were held below 80 points for the fourth time in five games.
Dream Looking to get Offense Going Against Liberty
Atlanta (6-5) is coming off a 96-64 loss to the previously winless Indiana Fever. After squeaking by Indiana at home last Thursday with a five-point win, the Dream shot 37.3 percent and got outscored 61-26 in the second half on Saturday.
Atlanta ranks as the lowest scoring team in the league at 73.8 points per game. They have only topped 80 points three times. The Dream also have shot below 40 percent in the last three games. Their 38.6 field goal percentage ranks last in the league, as does their 26.5 percent on 3-point attempts.
Angel McCoughtry led the team by scored 19 points on 7-of-13 shooting in 26 minutes Saturday. Her performance was welcomed. It came after she was 7 of 25 from the floor in the previous two games.
Tiffany Hayes has scored at least 20 points six times this season. She was the Eastern Conference Player of the Week last week. She injured her right ankle in the third quarter Saturday and is questionable for Tuesday.
While Atlanta ranks at the bottom in three major offensive categories, it is allowing only 77.5 points a tilt. This ranks second in scoring defense behind the Los Angeles Sparks. The Fever are hoping Saturday was an aberration on the defensive side.
