Fever vs Sun Prediction
This is a lot of points, but I have no choice but to lay them. The Sun have been the worst team in the league all season, and it’s mostly due to an abysmal defense. The Fever are an elite scoring offense. The Fever have topped 100 points in 3 of their last 4 games. The Sun are 4-7 ATS in their last 11 games as a double-digit favorite. The Fever are also at their best at home. Again, a big number, but nobody should be running to the window to back the Sun. Give me the Fever.
