Dream vs Sun Prediction
The Sun has been more competitive lately, but it’s not enough for me to show them attention. The Sun have been the worst team in the league, and they don’t cover enough numbers to make them worth a look. In three games as double-digit underdogs this season, the Sun have lost by an average of 21 points. The Dream are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games as a double-digit favorite. The Dream smoked the Sun multiple times last year, and it’s fair to say the Sun are worse this season, while the Dream are even deeper. I’ll lay the points with the Dream.
