WNBA - 605 Indiana Fever @ 606 Houston Comets
For today's game I go with a total and I expect not to be unlucky again, as the last two times I took a total plays, I lost both due to the games going to overtime. One of these games was exactly the last game of Indiana. If you remember I took under 143 and the game with just 6 seconds to go was 72-69, but the Liberty scored a 3pts shot and sent the game to overtime. Well, that game went to a triple overtime and occasionally, New York ended up winning by 102-96. This circumstance creates a very tough spot for Indiana tonight, not only due to this triple overtime game (four players of Indiana played more than 40 minutes), but also the schedule itself. Indiana played @LA at 22, returned home to face Sacramento at 24, then traveled to NY at 26 and they crossed the country again to play at Houston today (28). The team will come to this match tired and certainly they won't be at their best level offensively. They will have just their strong defense as a weapon for this game, which has been helping the Fever a lot to win some ballgames.
Houston in the other hand is right now one of hottest teams in the league, winning 5 of their last 6 games and they just come from beating San Antonio twice in an home-home series. Their last win by 77-71 was obtained in a fashioning and weird way, as their leading scorer Tina Thompson didn't play due to an injury but the team not only fared very well without her, but they also managed to do their best offensive performance of the season by shooting 55.6% FG! Sancho Lyttle who replaced Thompson was amazing with 10-12 FG, 6reb, 3ast, 3stl and 1 block! Of course this kind of performance doesn't happen many times and in fact I expect an offensive letdown of Houston tonight. In the last game Houston's offense was great, but the truth is that the key for this streak has been the defense. In the last 5 games, all Comets' opponents have shot below 40% FG. I expect both defenses to step up and make this game a low scoring game, reaching low 130's. Take the under in here.
