Fever vs. Liberty Prediction, Odds, Best WNBA Prop Bet for Saturday, Aug. 22

In this story:
The New York Liberty return home to face off against the Indiana Fever on Saturday night.
The Liberty are 2-2 in their last four games, including an upset loss in Chicago last time out and a loss in Indiana less than two weeks ago.
The Fever saw their five-game winning streak come to an end in Dallas on Thursday night, falling 91-85 to the Wings.
Let’s take a look at the odds, a player prop, and my prediction for Saturday’s WNBA matchup.

Fever vs. Liberty Best WNBA Prop Bets
Fever Best WNBA Prop Bet
- Kelsey Mitchell OVER 23.5 Points (-137)
Kelsey Mitchell has turned it on in the second half of the season. The Fever guard is averaging 27.9 points in her last 20 games, going OVER 23.5 points in all but four of those contests.
Mitchell is coming off a 37-point performance in Dallas and had 28 points against the Liberty on August 11.
Fever vs. Liberty Prediction and Pick
The Fever won the last two meetings against the Liberty, including earlier this month, but both of those games took place in Indiana.
Both of these teams are a few games better at home, with the Liberty at 10-10 on the road and 13-5 at home. Add in the rest advantage for New York and an eight-point win over Indiana in June, and I’ll back the Liberty at home tonight.
Pick: Liberty -2.5 (-105)
