Washington Mystics vs. New York Liberty

Quick read:

Taking the over 167.5 in this WNBA matchup is a clear call. Both teams excel at rebounding, which sets up plenty of second-chance opportunities and extended possessions—exactly the kind of scenarios that inflate scoring totals.
Washington’s 35.4 rebounds per game combined with New York’s 35.9 means the ball won’t be staying on the rims for long, feeding into a pace that favors the over. Meanwhile, the Liberty’s 36.6% shooting from deep suggests they can keep the scoreboard ticking from beyond the arc, unlike the Mystics’ less threatening 28.1%, which invites defensive focus elsewhere.
The only wrinkle might be if the game slows down on a whim, but with these rebounding numbers, it would take a concerted effort to keep possessions low and scoring minimal. That’s about as likely as a quiet Bob Newhart joke—possible, but you wouldn’t bet on it.
