Fever vs Wings Prediction
On paper, this would’ve been a must-watch game between two stacked offensive teams that could make some noise come playoff time. It’s still watchable with Bueckers and Clark on the floor. However, the Wings are still down Fudd and Shepard, and that limits them drastically on the offensive side. With the way the Fever are scoring the ball, you need to be at full strength to keep up. The Wings are down probably two of their best three players, and it’s why the line is what it is. I’ll lay the points with the Fever.
