Washington Mystics vs New York Liberty Bet Builder: 3.10 Wager For Friday Night
Washington Mystics vs New York Liberty Bet Builder: Friday, July 21st
The 14-5 New York Liberty are 8.5-point favourites over the 11-9 Washington Mystics for their matchup on Friday night. Washington is such a heavy underdog due to an injury list featuring Elena Delle Donne, Kristi Toliver and Shakira Austin. Stefanie Dolson and Xan Hu, who have averaged a combined 16.1 minutes per game this season, are both out for the Liberty.
New York suffered their first loss of July against the Dallas Wings last time out. The Indiana Fever beat Washington in their first post-All-Star outing – the team from the capital have now lost four of their previous six.
It’s 1-1 in the season series, but Washington is missing three starters from their win over the Liberty.

The Mystics are fifth in net rating and an elite defensive team, but that’s not an accurate representation of the group which will be playing on Friday night. This is a depleted Mystics roster, which is at a considerable talent deficit against a Liberty team with serious title ambitions. New York is 8-2 over their last ten and sits second in net rating on the season.
Washington Mystics vs New York Liberty Bet Builder
The total is set at 160.5 for this game, and the over looks like pretty good value in this Bet365 Bet Builder. New York has landed the over in 12 of their 19 games, and Washington has seen the total go over this line in seven of their last eight.
These two teams might only be middle-of-the-pack in pace, but they are second and third in offence in the previous ten games. We are backing offence to overpower defence in this one.
If it’s going to be a high-scoring contest, the overs on player props are a good option to partner with the game total over. Breanna Stewart, for instance, is coming off a 25-point showing a couple of days ago and ranks fourth in field-goal attempts per game. Stewart has exceeded this line in three of her last four – take the over here.
This is why we’re using bet365 for this Bet Builder. The choice of player props for this WNBA clash is excellent with over/under totals available for multiple players across different markets including points, assists, rebounds threes made.
To wrap this one up, we’re taking Liberty on the moneyline. New York is by far the strongest of these two teams considering the Mystics’ injuries.
While it is tempting to take the Liberty to cover, they have gone just 8-11 against the spread this season, and we can still get a solid price of 3.50 with the total, Stewart’s points and the moneyline.
- Over 160.5 points
- Breanna Stewart over 23.5 points
- New York Liberty moneyline
