Playoffs game preview

Despite appearing in the WNBA Finals a total of four times, the New York Liberty have yet to achieve a championship.

On Sunday, Tina Charles and the Liberty look to make another push towards winning that elusive title. The team starts their latest campaign on an impressive winning streak to end their regular season with 10-straight victories. Among those wins was a 74-66 home win against Sunday's opponents. The Liberty have been 13-4 at home this past season, all of which bodes well for the home team.

Meanwhile, this Washington Mystics team has gone 2-3 over their last five games, but one of those two wins was an 86-76 playoff win over Dallas to get here. Elena Delle Donne has finally returned for her team after a thumb injury and has played in several games including the first round playoff win. Delle Donne shot 8-for-18 in that game and finished with 25 points along with 11 rebounds to lead the way.

Now she'll try to make it two in a row and grab a major upset on Sunday. The winner of this game advances to play either Los Angeles or Minnesota in the next round.

With the New York Liberty hosting this second round playoffs game, oddsmakers have made them the five-point favorites on the spread. On the moneyline, New York is a -220 favorite as of this report while the visiting Mystics are +180 underdogs.

The over/under is 153 to 154 at various sports books ahead of Sunday's game. Of note, New York has been 6-4 against the Mystics in their past 10 meetings.
