Wings vs Liberty WNBA Pick: New York Looks to Keep Winning (Aug 5)

WNBA action on Tuesday, Aug 5, features the Dallas Wings (8-21) visiting the New York Liberty (17-7) at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Tipoff is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. ET. The Wings are looking to bounce back from a recent loss to the Fever, while the Liberty aims to continue their winning ways after a recent road victory.

Dallas Wings Outlook

The Wings are having a difficult season, sitting near the bottom of the Western Conference. Their offense is led by the rookie Paige Bueckers (18.5 PPG) and veteran Arike Ogunbowale (16.0 PPG), but the team has struggled to find consistency. In a major boost, Maddy Siegrist is expected to return to the lineup on Aug 5 after a lengthy absence due to a knee injury, though she will be on a minutes restriction.

Injury Update: Maddy Siegrist (knee) is expected to return on a minutes restriction. Myisha Hines-Allen (ankle) is doubtful.

New York Liberty Outlook

The Liberty are one of the league’s top teams, sitting in second place in the Eastern Conference. They have a dominant roster with stars like Sabrina Ionescu (19.8 PPG), Jonquel Jones, and Natasha Cloud. The team is still managing without a key player, but they have shown the ability to win with their deep and talented roster.

Injury Update: Breanna Stewart (back) remains out, but the team’s depth has allowed them to continue their winning ways.

Analysis and Pick

The Liberty are heavy favorites for a reason. Despite the absence of Breanna Stewart, their deep and star-studded lineup has continued to deliver, and they are a dominant force at home. The Wings have struggled mightily this season, and while Maddy Siegrist’s return is a positive, she will be on a minutes restriction and won’t be enough to overcome the Liberty’s firepower. Expect New York to win comfortably.
