Dallas WingsvsPortland Fire

DAL 101/POR 97

USA Net/CNBCModa Center
The preview

Dallas Wings roll into Moda Center at 17-9, favored by 5.5 over the Portland Fire, who are scuffling at 11-15 and trying to find their footing as an expansion club. Vegas has the total sitting at 174.5, so expect some buckets in the paint and a track meet if both squads get out in transition.

Dallas has been feasting on lesser competition all year, and this smells like another one where they build a cushion early and cruise. Bold take: Wings win by double digits and Portland just can't buy a bucket down the stretch.
