Fever vs Dream Prediction

The Fever should have more juice at home, and I expect a better effort from Boston. The Fever have been their best when they play through Boston down low. However, the Dream have been one of the hottest teams in the league, and they’ve covered 9 of their last 10 games. The Dream are also 29-15-1 ATS on the season, which makes them the most profitable team in the WNBA.

The Fever are also too banged up to take seriously in the playoffs. There’s only so much a team can overcome, and the Fever just don’t have enough bodies to scare anybody in the playoff field. The line is soft. I’ll lay the bucket with the Dream.
