Indiana Fever vs. Portland Fire Prediction
I’m on the Fever in this one. I think that Indiana is simply the better team in this game and while Portland’s shown some flashes of ability to get the job done at times, Friday was a stark reminder that this is still an expansion team and that they’re going to take their lumps. Not everyone can be the 2025 Valkyries and even then in their debut season Golden State took some lumps. The Fever are just the better team across the board and even on the road laying a big number I think they get it done here. Give me the Fever.
