Aces vs Dream Prediction
This is going to be an interesting game as these are two contenders coming off disappointing losses. I do believe the Dream may have a tougher time finding focus as they completely blew that contest against the Fever. The Aces have earned our trust; they can rebound quickly. The Aces have also won 9 of the last 10 games against the Dream, which incldues 22 point beatdown in Atlanta two weeks ago. The Aces also enter this game healthier than in past efforts. I’d need more points to seriously consider the Dream. I’ll lay the points.
