The New York Liberty (19-10) is having a tough season after winning it all in 2024. First, they lost Jonquel Jones, resulting in a 3-5 window after a 9-0 start.
Then, recently, they have been without Breanna Stewart, which has caused a four-game winning streak. Now they are back in business with a 2-game winning streak.
The 85-76 win against the Dallas Wings (8-22) proved it. However, the Wings aren’t exactly a strong team. They have lost 9 of their last 11 games.
However, Paige Bueckers always puts on a show, and the Wings fans have been able to arrest the pain of losses due to her.
As she potentially hits the floor against the Liberty, here is a look at my favorite Same Game Parlay.
Ionescu is cooking right now. She has been in terrific touch, averaging 20 points per game. The NY Liberty PG has scored 20+ in four of the last six games, in what has been her best spell.
She had 9 in the last game, but there is a high chance she hits the next level again in this game. Ionescu will score at least 19 here.
Ionescu O 18.5 Points
Bueckers is having one of the best rookie seasons in W history. The Wings guard is putting up 18.6 PPG, and has scored 20-22 points in four straight games.
She has shot 50% or better in three of these games. She is a Game-Time Decision for this match-up but if she plays, I expect her to put up at least 19, like Ionescu.
| Picks | BetMGM Odds |
| Ionescu O 18.5 Points | Undefined (-130) |
| Bueckers O 18.5 Points | +100 |
| Cloud O 4.5 Assists | Undefined (-130) |
| Spread: Liberty -8.5 | -110 |
Cloud terrifically replaced Courtney Vandersloot. The leading playmaker is dishing out 5.8 assists per game. Cloud has delivered 4+ helpers in four of the last six games. I expect her to continue the trend.

The Liberty is once again back in the winning business. At the same time, they are also facing an easy schedule against the two bottom-ranked teams. On the other hand, the Wings have been vulnerable despite Bueckers’ heroics.
She is the only consistent offensive player. Their defense has improved, but not by much. Overall, I expect New York to win this match by a big margin.

nba Hi, I am Shubham. I am currently an NBA Predictions Writer on The Playoffs. I enjoy this job because it helps keep me in the loop about the game I love while fulfilling the pleasure I derive from stats. I got into NBA writing through social media interactions in the mid-2010s as I shared my takes on young talents such as D’Angelo Russell. I hope you enjoy reading my pieces as much as Dennis Rodman loved rebounding the basketball!
