Randy’s Pick

For the most part, the Indiana Fever continue to play teams close, compete, and they’ve shown recent signs of being able to finish games. The Seattle Storm usually have a nice home court edge, but the bottom line is they’re well below average on both sides of the floor. I want nothing to do with the Storm, especially as long as the line is reasonable. Give me the Fever are going to hang around the playoff conversation, these are games they need to win. I’ll lay the bucket.
