Randy’s Pick
The Atlanta Dream are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’ve been the better team this season, and they’re at home. However, the Dream have been inconsistent as all hell, and they’ve had issues finishing games, let alone covering numbers. The Fever beat the Dream earlier in the season and hung around in the second meeting. I’m not excited to lay points with the Dream. Give me the Fever and the free buckets.
