The New York Liberty continue their homestand tonight when they host the Phoenix Mercury.

My Mercury vs. Liberty predictions expect a big game from Phoenix forward Satou Sabally in this matchup between former Oregon teammates Sabrina Ionescu and her sister. 

Here are my WNBA picks for June 19, with tip coming at 7:00 p.m. ET from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

Mercury vs Liberty predictions

My Mercury vs Liberty best bet: Satou Sabally Over 7.5 rebounds/15+ points (+115 at bet365)

Satou Sabally has been excellent to start her first season with the Phoenix Mercury, as she leads the team in points and rebounds. She’s averaging career highs in both categories with 19.9 points and 8.5 boards, both Top 10 marks in the W.

Sabally’s rebound total is set at just 7.5, making it an attractive line. She’s corralled 7.5 boards per game at home compared to 10 on the road, and she's pulled down at least eight rebounds in all five of her games outside of PHX Arena. In Wednesday’s win over the Sun, she pulled down a season-high 15 boards.

The New York Liberty have allowed the third-most rebounds per game this season — including the most offensive boards — making this a favorable matchup for Sabally as she battles Breanna Stewart and her sister Nyara down low.

The Mercury rank eighth in pace, but the Liberty rank first, making this a pace-up spot for the visitors. New York’s up-tempo style of play has allowed opponents to attempt the most field goals per game this season, and Sabally should continue to let it fly. She’s averaging a career-best 16.1 points per game, and she’s scored 15 or more in 11 of 13 games.

Over her last nine outings, Sabally has gone for 15 points and eight rebounds in the same game six times, including three of her last four on the road.

Satou Sabally Over 7.5 rebounds

Satou Sabally 15+ points

Over 164

The Liberty are tops in defensive rating this season, but they’re also tops in offensive rating and pace, meaning we should see plenty of activity on offense tonight.

The Mercury are 6-6-1 to the Over this season, but they’ve gone Over in four of their last five. The Liberty are 6-5 to the Over, and they’ve hit that mark in three of the last four.
