Portland Fire vs. Indiana Fever Prediction

I’m on the over in this one. I don’t trust Portland defensively and I think that the Fever boast one of the most fearsome offensive units in the dub. On the other side, the Fever have already allowed 100+ points twice at home this season and I think this is a situation where the Fire could score enough to help contribute to a higher-scoring game here so give me the over in this one.
