The Dallas Wings will look to arrest a four-game losing skid while the New York Liberty eye for its fourth straight win as both teams battle this September 10, 2024, Tuesday, in College Park Center.

This will be the first of two games between the Wings and the Liberty this week. Dallas and New York are set to square up once again at the same venue this Thursday.

• New York leads the season series 2-0 after picking up convincing wins over Dallas last month. The Liberty heads into this game fresh off a 75-71 victory over the defending champions, Las Vegas Aces on Sunday.
• Dallas, on the other hand, dropped its fourth consecutive game in a row despite a 23-point effort from cat-quick guard Arike Ogunbowale.
• Buoyed by its home fans, the Wings will all need the help they can get as they take on a red-hot Liberty squad who has only lost twice since returning from the Olympic break.

As of press time, the latest Dallas Wings vs New York Liberty odds have the latter as the overwhelming favorites.

With both teams among the league leaders in scoring, expect the Wings and the Liberty to pound the rock all throughout in what could be a high-scoring affair.

Why will the Dallas Wings cover the spread?

Two weeks ago, the Dallas Wings actually had a chance of making it into the playoffs despite having a terrible season. However, their chances ran out after four consecutive losses to begin September.

With the Wings no longer fighting for anything but pride, one would assume they would just wave white flag but that certainly has not been the case lately.

• Although they lost their past four games, they have seemingly kept everything close, only losing by an average of 9.3 points.
• It is also worth noting that prior to these four straight losses, the Wings beat the likes of the Los Angeles Sparks, the Las Vegas Aces, and the Minnesota Lynx.

Granted that they are taking on the New York Liberty which has been manhandling teams like it’s nothing, the +9 spread still offers plenty of value for punters looking for some action on the underdog.

Another thing of note is the Wings actually covered the spread the last time these two teams faced and what’s even more impressive is they did it on the road.

• It can be recalled that New York were the 11-point favorites in their previous encounter but Dallas managed to keep the game close only losing by eight.
• For Dallas to give themselves a chance though, they would need their supporting cast to show up here. In their past four defeats, no Wings player off the bench scored in double figures aside from Kalani Brown who had 10 points against the Washington Mystics.

While it is no secret that New York is the much stronger team on paper, the Wings have had a penchant for pulling off upsets as evident in their performances against Las Vegas and Minnesota.

Backed by its home crowd and considering the result of their previous encounter, there is potential value towards picking the Wings to cover the +9 spread in this matchup.

Why will the New York Liberty cover the spread?

The New York Liberty is a scary team to face right now. Even though they have locked in possibly the top spot for playoffs, the Liberty has not stepped their foot off the gas, winning nine of its past 11 games.

• New York opened as 10-point favorites against the Dallas Wings but the line has closed to -9 as of press time.

However, considering how the Liberty annihilated the Wings last month, one could argue that the -9 spread for the former on the latest Dallas Wings vs New York Liberty betting lines is quite generous.

• Maybe, the -9 spread could be because the Liberty are playing away from home. However, the Liberty has been superb on the road this season, only losing three times away from New York.

What’s even more impressive is their ability to cover the spread away from home.

1. In fact, they even have a better ATS away record compared to their ATS home record.
2. For context, the Liberty are 12-5 ATS on the road but only 5-14 ATS at home.
3. It is also worth noting that the Wings are currently riding a three-game ATS losing streak and haven’t covered the spread since the beginning of the month against the feisty Indiana Fever squad.

One thing New York has to do to avoid something catastrophic from happening is to take care of the ball.

In their embarrassing 94-88 loss to the Los Angeles Sparks a few weeks ago, the Liberty turned the ball over 19 times, which is something you cannot do on the road against a potent offensive team like the Wings.

Final Dallas Wings vs New York Liberty Prediction: New York Liberty -9 (-112) Over 171 (-110)

The Dallas Wings have enough offensive weapons to beat any team on any given night. But picking against the New York Liberty right now is a disaster waiting to happen.

The Liberty has seemingly turned everything up a notch and this shouldn’t stop anytime soon, especially against a Wings team that has been having trouble all season long to bounce back from consecutive losses.

Another thing I like here is the over. While the Wings are among the worst teams in the league, they share one common trait with the Liberty – they both love to score. It is worth noting that the four of their six previous encounters hit the over.
