Wings vs Sky Prediction
I’m looking at the over in this spot. Both teams play with good pace and can score the ball at an above-average clip. They also are hit or miss defensively. These teams met about three weeks ago and produced a combined 185 points. The two games this season between the Wings and Sky have averaged 186.5 points. The side is too thick for a young Wings team that’s probably feeling itself a bit too much right now. I’m not eager to back the Sky either with the drama surrounding Diggins. I expect points for the third straight game between these squads. Give me the over.
