Dream vs Fever Prediction
The Fever have covered 6 of their last 7 games, and they have these showings where they can surprise. I wouldn’t write off the Fever just yet, as they can play above their ability when Boston gets going. However, the Fever is way too banged up to take seriously in these playoffs.
The Dream is one of the hotter teams in the league, and they’re 28-15-1 ATS on the season. The Dream is also 8-1-1 ATS in their last 10 games. While everybody is focused on the Lynx and Aces, the Dream is hot enough to make a run. I’m going to lay the points.
