On Wednesday night, September 17th, the New York Liberty and Phoenix Mercury will face off in the second game of the first round of the WNBA playoffs. The game will be played at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
In the first game between the teams, which is a best-of-three series at this stage, the Mercury looked threatening at times and stayed ahead on the scoreboard, but without managing to build a comfortable lead, allowing the Liberty to take control of the game again. Even so, the home team's reaction took the game into overtime. In overtime, the New York team dominated, taking the lead on their first possession, opening up a comfortable lead, and never relinquishing it to win 76-69.
Point guard Natasha Cloud was the game's leading scorer with 23 points, followed by Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu, who scored 18 and 16 points, respectively. For the Mercury, point guard Kahleah Copper was the leading scorer with 15 points, and Alyssa Thomas came close to a triple-double with 14 points, 9 rebounds, and 8 assists.

Our Phoenix Mercury vs New York Liberty Prediction
It is interesting to note that Mercury's defense managed to limit Liberty's attack in the first game between the teams, but even so, it was not enough to secure the victory, with Natasha Cloud appearing as the surprise element of the New York team, even with the game taking place in Arizona.
Now, with the New York team playing at home, and considering that the visiting team does not have many more adjustments possible given the outcome of the first game, there is greater favoritism for the home team.
Therefore, our prediction for the New York Liberty vs Phoenix Mercury: Victory for New York Liberty.
