Indiana Fever vs. Portland Fire Prediction

I’m on the over in this game. I get the case to be made for either side, but the Fire have found themselves in high-scoring games against the upper-tier teams all season long, and Portland can also score points when called upon. The Fever have come back to finding themselves offensively in recent games and I think we’re in store for a high-scoring affair here. Give me the over.
