Connecticut Sun vs. Portland Fire Prediction
I’m on the Fire here. Normally I would be fading a team like the Fire off of such a big win like their last one over New York in a bit of a letdown, but Connecticut’s the worst team in the WNBA this season and I think the Fire take advantage of the matchup here being at home. Give me Portland in this one.
Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Portland -6.5
