Storm vs Liberty Prediction: Preview, Betting Odds, Where to Watch and More - July 6

The WNBA is ready to bring another elite showdown between the New York Liberty and the Seattle Storm this Sunday. Both teams have veterans like Nneka Ogwumike and Breanna Stewart who can turn the game with their individual performances. However, the game is expected to change this time on the basis of team performance. If the starting lineup of either of the teams overpowers the other one during the matchup, there is a chance that the former one will win the game. The reigning champions have a pride to protect, while the Storm are there to prove their worth in the WNBA. Who will be the ultimate winner of the matchup? Let's know more about the Storm vs Liberty prediction, preview, player to watch, and much more.

Storm vs Liberty Match Preview

The New York Liberty are set to host the Seattle Storm at their home, Barclays Center in Brooklyn, on Sunday. The host has just lost one game at home this season, so they appear strong ahead of the matchup. But form-wise, the Liberty are stumbling as they lost three out of their last five outings. On the other hand, the Storm have won 3 out of their last 5 games. In the Eastern Conference, the New York Liberty tops the table with 12 wins and 5 losses. Meanwhile, the Seattle Storm has 11 wins and 7 losses, standing third in the Western Conference rankings. It is expected to be a thrilling game, and here are the details about the Storm vs Liberty game.

Storm vs Liberty Prediction: Who Will Win?

The New York Liberty has better chances of winning due to their superior team effort. However, it is worth noting that the last time Liberty met the Storm during the WNBA regular season, the latter emerged victorious. It was an upset where Seattle Storm ended the game with a 89-79 scoreline and won the game by a 10-point margin. The absence of Jonquel Jones from the reigning champions' frontcourt is affecting the defense of the team. That's why the starting lineup of this team is not in sync, and Leonie Fiebich could only add 5 points and 3 rebounds in the previous game against the Los Angeles Sparks.

Seattle Storm's starting lineup is still healthy with Nneka Ogwumike at the helm of it. She scored more than 20 points and grabbed seven rebounds in a one-point margin victory against the Atlanta Dream. The respective conference rankings for both teams might be better for Liberty, but Storm has better momentum. Yet due to the quality of offense, the Storm vs Liberty prediction favors the New York Liberty right now.

Prediction:

Since it is a home game for the New York Liberty, they are expected to win against the Storm. The scoreline for the Storm vs Liberty prediction is expected to go as 87(Liberty)-82(Storm).

Storm vs Liberty Betting Odds

New York Liberty tops the Eastern Conference and has a 7-1 record at home court. Therefore, the Storm vs Liberty betting odds lie in favor of the reigning champions. Here are the betting lines for the upcoming game between Liberty and Storm.

• Spread: New York Liberty (-5.5)

• Moneyline: Liberty -170| +140 Storm

• Over/Under: 167.5

The odds suggest that it will not be a tight showdown between the two teams. Rather, the New York Liberty will outperform the Storm late in the quarters and take the win. The -170 moneyline is biased due to the record that the reigning champions have maintained at home. Yet the Storm is a fairly competitive side, so the over/under is restricted to 167.5. Otherwise, considering the offensive players that both teams have, the number might go beyond 170.

Storm vs Liberty Players to Watch

According to the recent performances and ongoing form, the following players from each team might make a difference in the upcoming fixture between the New York Liberty and the Seattle Storm. Therefore, teams have to be cautious of these players in the Sunday game.

Natasha Cloud (New York Liberty)

Natasha Cloud has found her form in the recent games. In the latest game against the Los Angeles Sparks, Cloud recorded 23 points, 4 rebounds, and 7 assists. As a guard, she is not getting enough time in the packed Liberty starting lineup. Yet she is averaging 9.9 points. 3.8 rebounds, and 6.5 assists in the 2025 WNBA regular season. She is shooting 41.5% from the floor and 30.3% from the three-point line.

Last year, she was playing for the Phoenix Mercury, where she got 33.3 minutes of average playing time. There she tallied 11.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 6.9 assists. Moreover, her beyond-the-arc shooting accuracy was 30.8% and 39.7% from the floor.

Nneka Ogwumike (Seattle Storm)

As a veteran, there is no one who can match the status of Nneka Ogwumike in the Seattle Storm. In the previous close win against the Atlanta Dream, she recorded 24 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals, and 1 block. Even after 13 years in the WNBA, she is averaging 17.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 2.2 assists. It is much better than some of the first-round rookies this season. With above 50% from the floor shooting and 38.2% sniper shots from the three-point line, she is proving her vintage form.

In the 2024 season, she dished out 16.7 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 2.3 assists. However, her beyond-the-arc shooting percentage was better with 40.5% accuracy last season.
