Report on Injuries

There have been no reported injuries at Liberty.

There have been no reported injuries among the aces.

Marine Johannes (available in 87.6% of leagues) is a lightly rostered fantasy player with significant potential on any given night. Johannes scored 17 points with 3 rebounds, 5 3-pointers, and 2 assists in 14 minutes against the Liberty and Aces on Tuesday. She had single-digit scoring efforts in each of the previous five games, but she now has nine double-digit scoring efforts on the season, including both games against the Aces. Johannes scored 10 points with two 3-pointers, two rebounds, and two assists in 19 minutes the first time these teams met in June. — Snellings

A’ja Wilson under 18.5 points is the best bet. Wilson, along with Breanna Stewart, is one of the two overwhelming favourites to win the WNBA MVP award again this season. However, we now have a three-game sample of how the Liberty defence has handled Wilson this season. Wilson has struggled to score against New York, averaging just 11.3 points per game with a season-high of 16 points in three games. The Liberty have made it particularly tough for Wilson in their last two games this month, restricting her to a combined 4-for-24 shooting from the field and nine points scored. — Snellings
