00:00Now, the New York Liberty have been a better best friend. I know they didn't cover a spread
00:06the other day, but generally speaking, what they're doing is winning games by 15, 20,
00:10even 30 points. They take on the Sparks tonight. I don't know what has happened to the Sparks,
00:15but they have been rough since opening up the, I guess, second half since the, since
00:19the Olympics. New York, 12 and a half point favorites tonight, Gilbert, 163 and a half
00:25is a total there. Since Brianna, since they returned to play, they basically have been
00:31five and one. So that's a really good record covering the spread mostly, but this is a
00:37big line again on the road. I think the last time these two teams played the Liberty one
00:41by 30. Yeah, I was going to say last time these two teams played, it actually was in
00:45LA and they won by 35. So it wasn't even remotely close. The Sparks have dealt with a lot of
00:51injuries this year, including a one-to-star rookie, Cameron Brink. Rekia Jackson has stood
00:57out for the Sparks team, but they're building for the future. They just blew a huge lead their
01:01last time out. So they're trending downward and the Liberty are trending upward. They're doing
01:06everything they can to secure the number one seed and the WNBA standings going into the playoffs,
01:11avenge their loss in the WNBA finals last year. So it does make sense that they are favored by
01:16this much, even though they're on the road, they're a much healthier team and they really
01:20are playing with a bigger picture in mind. I think that they won't take their opponents lightly.
