These teams are getting pretty familiar with each other as they meet for the 3rd time in the regular season since Aug. 6. They also met in the Commissioner’s Cup final on Aug. 15 in Las Vegas.
New York won 99-61 in Brooklyn as a 4.5-point underdog as the Under (176.5) cashed on Aug. 6 and also won the Commissioner’s Cup game Aug. 15 in Vegas as a 7.5-point underdog as the Under (178) hit. Vegas exacted a little revenge on Aug. 17, winning 88-75 to cover a 7.5-point number as the Under (175.5) again cashed.

Aces at Liberty picks and predictions
Prediction
Liberty 86, Aces 83
Moneyline
The LIBERTY (+100) pounded the Aces in the most recent meeting in Brooklyn. Las Vegas has been rather human since that humbling, going 6-3 straight-up over its last 9 contests and just 1-5 ATS in the past 6 games including the Commissioner’s Cup loss.
Against the spread
Playing the Liberty +1.5 (-110) makes very little sense unless you are convinced the Aces will win this game by exactly a point. If you feel New York is going to win, then just play the moneyline for a better value.
PASS.

Over/Under
The UNDER 173.5 (-110) is the best play on the board.
The Under has cashed in the previous 2 regular-season meetings and in the Commissioner’s Cup battle. The Under is also 5-2 in the past 7 games overall for the Aces, including the Cup game.
New York has also been going low, with the Under 8-3 across the past 11 games overall, including the Commissioner’s Cup. And remember, 3 of those Under results are against the Liberty just since Aug. 6.
