New York Liberty vs Los Angeles Sparks: Best Picks

Liz Cambage

Liz has been the WNBA Peak Performer of 2018. Appearing in the All-Star team for four times, she is pretty talented with the ball in her hands. She excels at mid-range shooting, possesses deep hooks and can shoot from anywhere as long as it is inside the arc. Interior defense is her forte as well.

This season, she is averaging 13 points per game with 6.4 rebounds and 2.1 assists. She has a certain flair which makes her seem more comfortable on the court than she probably is in her living room.

Sabrina Ionescu

Sabrina Ionescu is the Liberty’s lead scorer this season. She excels at three-point shooting and is very proficient in slashing through the defense to bank in a floater with a little finger-roll. Her speed and athleticism helps her get around the court fast enough to put a pause to defensive plays and turn them into offense.

This season, Ionescu has averaged 17.2 points, 6.2 assists and 7.2 rebounds this season. She seems to be on the way to become this season’s MVP with these stats.

Betnijah Laney

The 2021 All-Star Betnijah Laney is definitely one of the top picks for Sunday’s matchup. She excels at shooting, be it from beyond the arc or under the rim. Displaying extreme athleticism, she can weave through the defense with her layups and deploy a step-back-3 pt shot whenever required.
