Sun vs Tempo Prediction
I said the Sun wouldn’t win a game the rest of the season when they just lost at home to a banged-up Mystics team. However, the Sun gets another chance against a banged-up Tempo team. The Tempo is down, Rice, and their top player is Sykes. There’s also a chance Sabally remains sidelined. That’s arguably the Tempo’s top three players. If the Sun can’t win this game, they won’t win a single game the rest of the season. This is it. I can’t lay chalk with a depleted Tempo side. Give me the free bucket with the Sun in a game they should win if they’re worth anything.
