Randy’s Pick
The Fever have done a decent job of playing spoiler as of late, but the truth is they have nothing to play for at this stage, and they’ve lost 2 of the 3 meetings against the Sky. A game out of a playoff spot, this is a must win for the Sky if they hope to play beyond these final 3 games. There’s really no excuses for the Sky in this game. Near pick em spot, give me the team that has something to play for and should be more motivated.
