Randy’s Pick

The Connecticut Sun are more than capable of blowing the doors off here at home, and it wouldn’t be surprising. However, the Fever have been able to scratch out wins here and there recently, and it feels like a young team that has pride and wants to finish the season strong. The Sun have nothing to play for with them locked into the third seed, and it wouldn’t be shocking to see players rest or get put on a minutes restriction. Lots of points. I’ll take a shot with the Fever.
