Dream vs Sky Prediction
The Sky have been dreadful on the road this season, and it’s not going to get any better with this injury report. The Sky are missing a chunk of their rotation and just lost at home to the Mystics by 30 points. The Sky just don’t have enough bodies to compete right now. The Dream just beat the snot out of Connecticut and needs to keep winning to lock up a top four seed. This should be a blowout win for the Dream mainly due to so many key players out for the Sky. You can argue the line should be even steeper.
