Dream vs Tempo Prediction
The Dream can smoke the Tempo and have done so three times already this season. The Tempo are struggling defensively and aren’t covering numbers despite being big underdogs nightly. However, since June 22, the Dream are 2-14 ATS, and they’ve outright lost two of their last three games as a favorite. I’m not saying the Dream are going to lose this game, but this is a lot of points for a team that’s not cashing tickets. In fact, a 35.4 percent cover percentage is the worst in the WNBA. I’ll grab the boatload of buckets with the Tempo.
