New York Liberty star Breanna Stewart will remain sidelined for Thursday night’s matchup against the Chicago Sky due to a knee injury.<\/p>\n
Stewart has missed the Liberty’s last 11 games with a bone bruise in her knee, but she did practice on Monday and has been trending closer to a return later on this month. With New York set as a massive favorite at home in the latest odds for this game at DraftKings<\/a>, it makes sense to hold Stewart out as she works her way back to 100 percent. <\/p>\n The Sky have won just eight games all season long, and New York has dominated at home in the 2025 season, going 14-4 straight up. On Tuesday night, the Liberty picked up a much-needed win over the Minnesota Lynx to reclaim the No. 2 seed in the standings.<\/p>\n With Stewart out, Sabrina Ionescu has been asked to carry a bigger load on offense, but she’s been struggling as of late. <\/p>\n Here’s how bettors should wager on the Liberty in the prop market on Thursday. <\/p>\n Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook<\/a><\/p>\n Earlier today, I shared in my WNBA Best Bets column \u2013 Peter\u2019s Points \u2013 why I\u2019m fading Sabrina Ionescu tonight:<\/p>\n Even though she made a huge 3-point to put away the Lynx on Tuesday night, Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu is slumping in a big way at the moment.<\/p>\n She\u2019s failed to score over 18.5 points in seven straight games and during that stretch she\u2019s shooting just 32.0 percent from the field and 28.9 percent from beyond the arc.<\/p>\n Ionescu is taking nearly 14 shots per game during that stretch, but it hasn\u2019t been enough to push her over this number. While she will find some easy looks against a weak Chicago defense, there\u2019s a chance the Liberty go up by so much that they sit her down the stretch.<\/p>\n New York has wins by 19 and 25 against Chicago this season, and Ionescu has cleared 18.5 points in just one of those matchups.<\/p>\n Until her shooting slump ends, she\u2019s a tough player to trust in the prop market. <\/p>\n Odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.<\/p>\n If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1-800-GAMBLER.<\/p>\n Claim the latest\u00a0<\/a>DraftKings promo code<\/a>\u00a0offer today.
