Tempo vs Sun Prediction
The Tempo have quietly won 3 of their last 4 games, and it feels like they’re slowly but surely starting to figure things out. Regardless, this has more to do with the Sun than anything, as this is easily the worst team in the league and doesn’t provide much hope at either end of the floor. It also doesn’t help that the Sun is now dealing with a bunch of injuries. A bad team has the ability to get worse once players start getting dinged up. I want nothing to do with the Sun. I have to lay the points with the Tempo.
