Over the last two years, this series has been very one-sided, both straight up and against the spread.
The Fever have won eight of the last nine meetings. They have covered the number in all of the wins, including four games where they were giving at least 6.5 points.
The only time Indiana has not covered against New York was a 102-96 road loss in triple OT on June 26, 2008. As a three-point underdog, it ran out of gas and did not score in the final two minutes.
The Fever has won the last four meetings, holding the Liberty to less than 60 points in three of them.
Pick: Indiana
San Antonio Silver Stars at Los Angeles Sparks (-5.5, 148)
The Silver Stars (13-17) have won three straight games - including an 89-72 thumping of the Sparks on Saturday - to get within one game of Los Angeles (14-16) for third place in the Western Conference.
But those wins were at home. The Silver Stars are a much different team on the road, where they have lost four in a row straight up and against the spread, allowing an average of 91 points.
In two home-and-home sets where the Silver Stars have won the first game, they have lost the second game by a combined 23 points.
In two home-and-home series where the Sparks have lost the first game, they have bounced back to win the second game by an average of 22 points.
Lady Luck 9/8
