Williams could blow past her 6.5 (O/U) points prop.Minnesota Lynx vs New York Liberty predictionThe New York Liberty were a few breaks short of a win on Saturday. If they can continue to limit the Minnesota Lynx’s 3-point efficiency and stop drives without fouling, they could break through with a win.
