Atlanta has gone over the total on a regular basis early in the year, going 5-2 to the over this season, with some of that having to do with playing teams like the Aces and Liberty early on.

Atlanta Dream vs. New York Liberty Betting Pick and Prediction
Our first Dream vs Liberty prediction is for the New York Liberty to cover the spread as an 11-point favorite on Tuesday night.
Pick 1: Liberty -11. New York has been much better at home than they have been on the road, even managing to cover the spread at home against the potent Dallas Wings offense on Sunday. Look for the Liberty to continue to have offensive success on their home floor in this matchup.
Pick 2: Over 169.5. The second Dream vs Liberty prediction worth backing in the betting markets is for this contest to go over the total of 169.5 points. These teams combined for 189 points in their previous meeting, with the Liberty hitting the 100-point mark by themselves. New York will score in bunches again in this game to improve to 6-3 to the over on the season.
