Randy’s Pick
The Fever have had moments of competitiveness this season, but they get waxed more times than not against good teams, and that defense has been rough during this losing stretch. As Ive said all year, the Connecticut Sun are one of the more consistent teams in the league, and they’ve been covering machines on the road all year. This line is more than reasonable. I’ll lay the chalk with the Sun on the road. The Fever just aren’t consistent enough to hang here, even at home.
