Best bet: Over 177.0 points. These are the top two scoring teams in the WNBA, and both offenses are typically robust even against the top defenses. The one exception to that rule was when these teams faced off 10 days ago and the Liberty held the Aces to (by FAR) their lowest scoring output of the season at 61 points. The Liberty jumped all over the Aces in the second half of that game, packing the paint on a night the Aces couldn't get a shot to fall, and beat them by 38 points while dropping 99 of their own. In the three games since, the Aces have averaged 101.0 PPG. In the three games before that loss, the Aces averaged 101.3 PPG. After that embarrassing blowout, I fully expect the Aces to come out aggressive on offense. And the Liberty, the hottest team in the WNBA who have averaged 94.3 PPG of their own in the last three games, should be ready to put their own points on the board as well. I think this one could go well over 177.0 total points.
