Wings vs Sun Prediction
The Sun have games here and there when they want to show up and compete, but it’s few and far between. The Suns have been massive underdogs a lot this season, and there’s been a lot of blowout losses. The Wings smoked the Suns earlier this month by 20 points. I’m pretty much done with the Sun for the rest of the season, as this group has one foot in Houston already. I expect the Wings to win this game in blowout fashion.
