Dream vs Aces Prediction

The Dream are talented enough to win this game and there will be energy in the building with this being their first home game. There’s reason to be excited about this team. However, we’re getting a soft number with the Aces, a number you won’t see often this season. The Aces already have three road wins this season and have won 11 straight regular season road games overall. The Aces have won 9 of the last 10 games against the Dream. The Dream are also missing one of their better scorers in Rhyne Howard. I have to side with the Aces and the small number.
