Portland Fire vs. Connecticut Sun Prediction
I’m on the Fire here. I am still of the belief that even with a couple of wins as of late, the Connecticut Sun are not in a position to be laying points against anyone, even at home. Portland’s had some decent showings in some of their recent outings and all in all, I think the fire take care of business once again in this one. Give me Portland.
