Fire vs Wings prediction
Fire vs Wings best bet: Wings -8.5 -108
The Portland Fire have covered in six of their last seven games, but their recent competitive streak is fool's gold. In that span, the Fire faced the Toronto Tempo and Seattle Storm twice, and the Phoenix Mercury once.

All five of those matchups were against teams ranked in the Bottom 6 in Defensive Rating, inflating Portland's offensive numbers and helping them keep things close.
The Dallas Wings ' defense is a much stiffer challenge, as the Wings rank second in Defensive Rating at home(100.9). The Wings are on a roll with two straight wins and covers. Play to 9.5.

COVERS INTEL: Dallas owns the fourth-best Net Rating at home at +9 , and the Wings are one of only three teams outsourcing opponents by at least seven points at home (+7.2).
Fire vs Wings same-game parlay
Dallas' defense has allowed just 85.9 ppg this season, but it's been stifling at home, surrendering only 80.3, good for second-best in the W. Portland's offense has mustered the ninth-fewest points on the road(85.5).

The Wings are 5-13 to the Under at home, and I'll play this one down to 173.5.
Jessica Shepard has the second-most double-doubles in the league at 21, and Portland's defense ranks in the Top 5 in points and rebounds surrendered to opposing centers.
Shepard recorded a double-double in both matchups with Portland, averaging 15.5 points and 14.5 boards.
