Fever vs Sun Prediction
Every time I give the Sun a look in the big underdog role, they let me down, and I always say I’m done with them. I guess I haven’t learned my lesson. While the Fever are easily the better side and capable of a blowout, this is a ton of points and a sort of line you rarely see in the W. While the Fever are winning games, they’ve covered just 4 of their last 10 contests. These lines are getting super inflated. Also, this will be the Fever’s last game for three weeks, and I’m sure players have their eyes on this little vacation. Could set up a letdown spot. Give me the boatload of buckets.
