Sky vs Dream Prediction
The Dream is starting to roll and look more and more like a legit contender. This is also a revenge spot for Reese, whom I’m sure had this game circled. The Sky are banged up, losing games, and are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games. Also, Diggins is becoming increasingly frustrated and just called out the coaching staff after a blowout loss to Toronto. The vibes are terrible in Chicago right now. This feels like a spot where the Dream comes to town and wrecks shop. I’ll lay the points with Atlanta.
