The inevitable WNBA Finals matchup between the New York Liberty and Las Vegas Aces is finally here. Our Game 1 handicap has eyes on a crafty veteran who's picked up her scoring in recent weeks — find out who in our betting preview below.Sometimes the Basketball Gods just deliver.
When the new-look New York Liberty got put together during the offseason, it was pretty clear who would have to sacrifice the most to make it work. It wasn’t going to incoming MVPs Breanna Stewart, Jonquel Jones, or rising league star Sabrina Ionescu. No, the burden to fit in would fall squarely in the lap of 29-year-old Betnijah Laney.
Laney has learned to marry her aggressive play with great poise. Her shooting confidence has taken a clear jump as well. The pressure of a strong closeout can’t deter her from taking a corner three, and neither can a slightly off-target pass. When a player can succeed in more and more variations of less perfect scenarios, they’ve achieved something important.
The other names on the Liberty ring out louder, so when opposing teams are picking their poison, they often prefer to let Laney go off over Jonquel, Stewie, or Sabrina, but that poison is proving fatal for most opponents these days. Since Candace Parker went down with her foot injury, the Aces have relied on A’ja Wilson as their only true big. That’s no issue against most teams, but the Liberty can eat on the boards if Jonquel is guarded by anyone other than Wilson, but nobody else on Las Vegas has the size and speed to hang with Stewie other than A’ja. One of the Liberty bigs will always have a mismatch.
