Dream vs Tempo Prediction
I considered the Tempo and the points because this is a trap game for the Dream after a big win over the Fever, and then playing Golden State next. However, the Tempo is a banged-up, limited team that was down double digits to the Sun. The Dream should have a field day in this spot as there’s just not enough bodies available for the Tempo. Also, the Dream have covered each of their last 7 games as a double-digit favorite. Thick line, but the Tempo has a limited roster wise right now. I’ll lay it with Atlanta at home.
