Randy’s Pick
I considered the Los Angeles Sparks and the free bucket, but they’ve been hit or miss all season, and it’s hard to get a great feel for them. The Connecticut Sun have been far and away more consistent at both ends of the floor, and they’ve proven they can win on the road already. We’re only laying a bucket. Give me the Sun and the small chalk.
