Storm vs Dream Prediction
The Dream is obviously the better team and should be favored, but this is a lot of points for a team at the end of a back-to-back. We don’t see these spots often in the WNBA, and the Dream are coming off a hard-fought game against Golden State, where Gray, Canada, and Howard played 35-plus minutes. Also, while the Storm aren’t winning games, they’ve been more competitive lately, and it’s resulted in covers in 6 of their last 9 games. Tough schedule spot for the Dream. I’ll take a stab with the Storm and the free buckets.
