The under is 5-2 in Fever last 7 overall. The under is 16-7 in Dream last 23 home games. The Fever are 1-5 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Atlanta and 0-4 ATS in the last 4 meetings.
I'm not running to the window to back the Atlanta Dream in any shape or form, especially in the favorite role. However, there's no backing the Indiana Fever in any spot. The Indiana Fever haven't won a game since June 19, and they're not covering numbers despite being big underdogs in all of these games. The Fever are getting clapped defensively, and they look like a team that's counting down the days until the off season. The Dream also still have a chance at a playoff spot and need to take advantage of games like this if they're going to sneak in. It's the Dream and the chalk or pass for me. The Fever are terrible.
