Fever vs Storm Prediction
The Fever are going to be favored because they’re a public team and the Storm stink, especially on the road. The problem is the Fever doesn’t play enough defense to be trusted in the big favorite role. Clark is also a non-factor offensively as of late. I keep saying that the Fever are better when Clark isn’t playing, as the defense improves and the offense sticks less, but whatever. Boston on the injury report is worth monitoring as there’s no rim protection without her. Also, despite the Storm losing games left and right, they have cashed 13 tickets. Only the Valkyries have cashed more tickets. Give me the points.
