Indiana Fever vs. Connecticut Sun Prediction
I’m on the Sun and the points here. The Sun have been a really solid underdog this season and I’m just not at a point where I want to be laying points with the Fever on the road after how they looked in their last game. The Sun have been a lot more competitive and I think there’s value to be had with the points with Connecticut here. Give me the Sun and the points.
