Fever vs Sky Prediction
Right when it looked like the Fever were rolling, they’ve lost back-to-back road games, and the defense has gone back to being suspect. They’re now on the end of a back-to-back, which doesn’t help. The Sky have become a great home team over the last month, and they should like their chances with the rest advantage. The first meeting this season went into overtime, and when these clubs met two weeks ago, the Sky covered a 5.5-point line. I’ll grab the points with the Sky.
