Sun at Fever picks and predictions
Prediction
Sun 88, Fever 79
If you’re on the conservative side, CONNECTICUT (-172) isn’t a terrible play. The Sun have won 11 straight meetings in this series, and it hasn’t been fazed facing the rookie Clark.
Be careful, though, as the Sun won 88-84 in a close game in the only previous meeting in Indianapolis this season.
Back CONNECTICUT -3.5 (-108) laying the points if you’re a little more adventurous. The Sun have covered 4 of the past 5 meetings, including 2 of 3 games this season.
Be careful, though, as the Sun did win by only 4 points in the 1st meeting in Indy, with the Fever +3.5 (-112) covering as a 5.5-point underdog on May 20.
OVER 164.5 (-108) is a strong play in the 4th installment of this series this season.
Connecticut has scored 88 or more points in each of the first 3 battles, while the Over has cashed in each of the past 2 meetings.
While the Sun have cashed low on the total in 3 of the past 4 outings, the Over has a 4-3 edge in the past 7 games.
For the Fever, the Over has hit at a 5-3 pace in the past 8 outings, while going 3-1 in the past 4 games at Gainbridge.
