The Wings don’t have any players listed on their injury report.
Tempo vs Wings Prediction
I’m assuming Mabrey is going to play considering she’s not on the injury report. If that’s the case, I want the points. The Wings have 5 road losses this season, and as play has improved, oddsmakers have overreacted, and they’re not covering numbers anymore. The Wings are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as a favorite. The Wings are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games as a road favorite. Early start times can be funky for a road team as well. I’ll take a stab with the Tempo and the free buckets, but of course, Mabrey has to play.
