Easily one of the biggest surprises this season came on Friday night, as the winless New York Liberty limped in as 16.5-point underdogs (ML +1000) against the defending champion Washington Mystics. After the smoke cleared, the Liberty were celebrating their first win of the season, 74-66. After opening 3-0 SU, the Mystics are in freefall, dropping and failing to cover in three straight. The Liberty nearly did it again on Sunday, but came up just short against the Las Vegas Aces, 78-76, although they comfortably covered a 13.5-point number.
