The Liberty return to Barclays Center for Friday’s WNBA semifinals Game 3 with their season on the line, trailing Atlanta 2-0 after Wednesday’s 101-98 overtime heartbreaker. Breanna Stewart’s 35 points and Marine Fauthoux’s 20-point breakout gave New York a chance, but Angel Reese and Jordin Canada answered with 23 apiece to put the Dream one win from the Finals.
For Liberty fans and prediction market traders, the key questions are whether Sabrina Ionescu can rebound from a 10-point outing and whether Atlanta gets leading scorer Allisha Gray back after a left hand injury sidelined her in Game 2. New York’s return home offers a reason for optimism, while Gray’s availability could reshape Atlanta’s scoring options and influence positions on the winner, total and player props.
With New York fighting to extend the series, Polymarket gives traders several ways to take a position on Game 3. Here’s how the Liberty–Dream board prices the winner, spread, total and player props.

New York holds the favorite’s position on Polymarket’s Dream–Liberty board. Traders can take positions on the 3.5-point spread, a 172.5-point total and individual players’ points, assists and rebounds.

Dimers sims favor the Liberty to keep their season alive, giving New York a 63.9% win probability across 10,000 simulations and projecting a Liberty 89, Dream 85 final score. The player forecasts point toward a balanced attack, with Breanna Stewart, Jonquel Jones and Sabrina Ionescu combining for 48 points, while Angel Reese’s projected double-double helps Atlanta stay close. New York’s 50.9% chance of covering -3.5 suggests a competitive finish, even with the model more firmly behind a Liberty victory.
Best Bet: Over 172.5
Over 172.5 gets the nod, with Dimers sims assigning it a 56.3% probability against a 51¢ Polymarket price, a 5.3-percentage-point edge before fees. Both teams ranked among the WNBA’s top five scoring offenses during the regular season: Atlanta averaged 91.3 points and New York 89.4, combining for 180.7 per game. Their opening semifinal also produced 174 points, clearing this threshold without overtime. Those scoring benchmarks support the over, although Allisha Gray’s availability deserves another check before taking a position.
