Toronto Tempo (3-3) will take on the court for their seventh league game when they host Portland Fire (2-3) on Saturday night. The Tempo have blown hot and cold this season, winning when least expected and losing matches they could’ve won. Earlier in the week, they caused an upset by defeating last season’s finalists, Phoenix Mercury, 90-98 on the road. However, they were outplayed 100-72 by Minnesota Lynx on Thursday night, their worst loss this season.

Like their expansion counterparts, Portland Fire has also struggled to win consistently so far this season. The Fire failed to build on their slim 1-point win over Connecticut after losing 90-73 to Indiana Fever on the road. It was a lopsided performance that saw the Fever hold the lead throughout the night. Fire coach, Alex Sarama, admitted that it’s the first adversity they’ve encountered as a group. Let’s see how they’ll respond in Toronto.

Our Toronto Tempo vs Portland Fire Prediction

Toronto Tempo will enter the court as the warm -240 favorites. They’ll quickly want to forget the heavy defeat against Minnesota by getting their second win at home this season. Toronto looked competitive in their other two defeats, losing by four points against the Sparks and three points against the Mystics. Portland Fire, on the other hand, need to find their rhythm offensively. Before the game against Indiana, the visitors had only managed to get an average of 7.3 rebounds in three matches. Discipline was also an issue against the Fever, where they committed 26 personal fouls, gifting their opponents 29 free throws. They’re clearly a work in progress. 

Our prediction for Toronto Tempo vs Portland Fire: Tempo on the -4.5 line.
