Connecticut Sun vs Indiana Fever Prediction

The Indiana Fever are a dangerous team in a short series because of Clark, and oddsmakers are giving them the best chance at a first round upset. The Fever also beat the Sun a month ago as 4 point underdogs. The problem here is the Fever have cooled off these last couple of weeks and the playoffs are a different beast. The Fever are still young, while the Sun are stacked with veterans who have not only been in the playoffs but have had success. I’d need an extra bucket or two to pull the trigger with the road team. Give me the Sun and the soft line.
