Randy’s Pick

I’m not running to the window to back the Fever as much as the next guy, and I certainly don’t want to lay chalk. However, the Atlanta Dream have fallen off a cliff over the last month, and those sorts of struggles usually don’t fix themselves on the road. The Fever have quietly won back to back games and the offense has picked up recently. I’ll lay the bucket with the Fever.
