Atlanta Dream vs. Connecticut Sun Prediction
I’m on the Sun and the points in this one. The Dream continue to be a poor cover team this season. and while the Sun haven’t been a great cover team themselves and have lost their fair share of games as well this year, this is still a boatload of points to give up to a Dream team that lets their opposition hang around. I think we have a tighter game than you’d think here so give me the Sun and the points here.
