00:00And New York is just crushing teams like not winning by 1020

00:06winning by like 40.

00:07And so they're 14 and a half point favorite tonight over

00:09the wings.

00:11I mean, it's you can be the one to take the points here

00:14Gilbert.

00:14I ain't going to do it.

00:15You know, like if I'm going to take any team tonight, I think

00:17I just lay the points.

00:19Absolutely.

00:19And I think that's it with New York, you know, you talk about

00:21Dallas and it's not too solidly is back.

00:23She looked really good in her return to the WNBA after

00:26missing beginning part of season.

00:27And I think the Olympics helped her kind of round back into

00:30all WNBA form, but New York is so good defensively.

00:33They can neutralize other teams best players and that's what

00:36gives them a big advantage in games like these.

00:39So let's talk about Brianna Stewart than the season that

00:42she's having 19.6 points per game, 8.7 rebounds per game,

00:46almost four assists and shooting 50% from the field.

00:50Is this as impressive a player of your seeing this season

00:52in the WNBA?

00:54You know, I think she's kind of in a firmly in second.

00:58Aja Wilson has been in the class of her own out in Las Vegas

01:00and it hasn't necessarily contributed to as much team success.

01:03But I think they're another team that's been dealt a tough

01:06hand with injuries.

01:07But think about Brianna Stewart and think about what she's

01:09been able to do with this Liberty team coming back from

01:12coming up so short from winning a championship last year.

01:14You can tell it's a motivated bunch kind of feel similar

01:17to that Spurs team, you know, back in 2013.

01:19They lost in the finals and then came back on a mission to

01:22go all the way.

01:22So she's kind of leading the way, but they also have Sabrina

01:24Inescu, John Quill Jones, but she is certainly the leader

01:28of a very talented group.

01:30Yeah, and I would say that interesting notes here to record

01:32a double-double tomorrow.

01:34Excuse me, double-double tonight.

01:35Brianna Stewart plus 125, Jonkel Jones minus 115, and then

01:40you have some other options as well in this game.

01:43Sabrina Inescu, a long shot at 7-1.

01:46Anything interesting here tonight, Gilbert?

01:48Natasha Howard stands out to me a little bit.

01:51That's one who she could be active on the boards and get

01:53going scoring, especially not necessarily being that team's

01:56first option.

01:57So that is one that stands out.

01:58Jonkel Jones has been a monster on the boards and that's

02:00obviously evidenced by the odds for that one there.

02:03I don't think anybody else will probably get any double-doubles

02:05in the game like that, especially if it's a blowout.

02:07You can see the starters get pulled pretty early.
