Connecticut Sun vs. Indiana Fever Prediction
I’m on the over in this game. I just think that the Fever are so wildly ahead of the Sun it’s not even funny. However, this line is massive for a Fever team that’s close to the FIBA break with a lot of players leaving to play in that tournament. I still think the Fever get theirs but I think defense is an afterthought here. Give me the over.
