Liberty vs Fever predictions
When you look at how the New York Liberty have been playing this season, it’s honestly tough to bet against their stars stepping up again at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. After Sabrina Ionescu’s electric 23-point performance last game, you’ve got to figure she’s walking into this showdown with all the confidence in the world. And let’s not forget Breanna Stewart, who’s putting up nearly 19 a night—she’s been a rock for New York and always seems to deliver when the lights are brightest. If Natasha Cloud continues her pace with those timely assists, while Jonquel Jones battles on the glass even with that lingering ankle concern, Liberty fans can expect another well-balanced offensive attack and solid rebound control.
Shifting the spotlight over to the Indiana Fever, the conversation has to start with Kelsey Mitchell. She’s been their go-to scorer all year and if Indiana’s going to keep pace with New York’s high-powered offense, she’ll need to have one of her big nights. Aliyah Boston’s growth as a playmaker is also hard to miss—averaging nearly 4 assists alongside more than 7 boards, she’s quietly doing a little bit of everything. It’s that versatility that could make things interesting for the Liberty in the paint. If Boston can turn in a double-double and get a little help from the rest of the Fever squad, Indiana could definitely make things interesting for the home crowd.
But when you match up both squads—just picture those high-paced Liberty transitions butting heads with Indiana’s scrappy interior play—the momentum still seems to favor New York. The Liberty haven’t lost a single game, and they’re perfect on the road, which honestly speaks volumes about their ability to adapt no matter the setting. Indiana’s fighting spirit at home is real, but the combination of Ionescu’s shooting, Stewart’s scoring punch, and that relentless defense has New York looking like the favorite to keep their streak alive. Is another Liberty win incoming? All signs point that way, but hey, that’s what makes gameday so much fun.
