The New York Liberty will take on the Minnesota Lynx in the third matchup between the two sides this season. The Lynx claimed a 94-89 win over Sandy Brondello’s side at UBS Arena last week, and Cheryl Reeve will be hoping for a repeat performance from her side when they make the trip to Barclays Center in the WNBA clash on Tuesday.
The Liberty currently lead the Eastern Conference with a 16-3 overall record and a 9-1 home record, following their 81-75 win over the Atlanta Dream on June 30.
Likewise, the Lynx top the Western Conference with a 14-4 overall record and a 5-3 away record and have been on an unbelievable run of form with just two defeats in their last ten games.
The game is a tricky one to call as both teams have been in fine form recently. Whichever team can get their attacking players involved the most will have a better chance of winning.
