Sun vs Fever Prediction
I don’t want to back the Sun as much as the next guy, but they have been more competitive as of late, and they are getting Brittney Griner and Aneesah Morrow back from injury. The Sun has covered 3 straight games due to oddmakers’ overreaction. Also, I’m not sure what the Fever have done to deserve being big favorites on the road. The Fever have a lot of odd results, the team doesn’t feel like they enjoy playing together half the time, and they don’t cash tickets. In fact, the Fever are 2-6 ATS this season when favorites of 5 or more points. I want the points.
