Indiana Fever at Chicago Sky odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Indiana Fever at Chicago Sky odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Indiana Fever (7-10) and Chicago Sky (5-9) meet Sunday at Wintrust Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 4 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Fever vs. Sky odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Fever lead 2-0

The Fever have started to piece things together after a 1-8 straight up (SU) start. Indiana has won and covered 4 straight, with the offense going for 88 or more points in each of those contests. The Over is on a 4-0 run as a result.

That win streak includes a 91-83 win over the Sky on June 16 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, as the Fever covered a 2.5-point spread while the Over (168.5) connected.

Indiana shot a blistering 56.5% (35-of-62) in that most recent win over Chicago, while hitting 44.4% (8-of-18) from downtown. The free-throw shooting still needs work, as the Fever was just 68.4% (13-of-19) from the charity stripe.

Indiana had 11 blocked shots, though, including 5 from Aliyah Boston. Meanwhile, Caitlin Clark had 23 points on 7-of-11 shooting, while posting 9 assists, 8 rebounds and 2 blocked shots with 3 triples.

Chicago’s Angel Reese had 11 points and 13 rebounds in a losing effort, while fellow rookie Kamilla Cardoso also had a double-double (10 points, 10 rebounds). Reese ripped down a career-high 18 rebounds in Thursday’s win over the Dallas Wings to set a WNBA rookie record.

Fever at Sky picks and predictions

Prediction

Fever 87, Sky 84

Moneyline

Indiana (-118) hits the road as a favorite for this battle against Chicago (-104) after having won the 1st 2 installments of this budding rivalry. To be fair, both meetings were in Indianapolis.

The Fever put it on the Sky in the most recent meeting last Sunday afternoon, dropping 91 on Chicago, the most points an opponent has scored against the Sky this season.

Look for Clark and her Fever teammates to remain perfect on the season against the Sky. But PASS and bet the moneyline which offers a better price on the Fever.

Against the spread

Bet INDIANA -1 (-112) for all the above reasons at a slightly cheaper price than the moneyline.

Over/Under

OVER 169.5 (-110) is a decent play in this matinee game in Chitown, but be careful, as we could get a sluggish start before the offense picks up.

The 1st meeting saw a combined 141 points, and that defense came in a game Cardoso was still making her way back from a shoulder injury. The Over-Under is 1-1 in the 2 meetings, both in Indy, so far this season.

The Over has cashed in 4 of the past 5 games for the Sky, while hitting in 4 straight for the Fever.

This is the highest total for Chicago this season. In 2 previous games with a total of 168.5, including the most recent game against Indiana, the Over hit both times.

As far as Indiana is concerned, in games with a total of 167 or higher, the Over is 7-1 in the past 8 tries.

Chicago Sky at Indiana Fever odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Chicago Sky at Indiana Fever odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Chicago Sky (4-8) and Indiana Fever (4-10) meet Sunday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Tip-off is scheduled for noon ET (Prime Video). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Sky vs. Fever odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Fever lead 1-0

The Sky have dropped a season-high 3 straight games, and 2 of those losses were at home. A lack of defense has been the issue, as Chicago has given up at least 83 points in each of the games, for 85.0 points per game (PPG). It’s no surprise the Over is on a 3-0 run during the stretch.

The Chicago offense has done its part, going for at least 75 points in 5 straight outings. Rookie Angel Reese had 10 points and a career-high 14 rebounds in an 83-81 loss at the Washington Mystics last time out on Friday. She has 10 or more rebounds in 6 straight games, while posting 5 straight double-doubles.

The Fever picked up the pace in the Commissioner’s Cup, going 3-2 in the 5 games from June 1-13. They kicked off the solid run with a 71-70 win over the Sky in Indianapolis on June 1, winning as a 1.5-point underdog as the Under (168) cashed.

Rookie Caitlin Clark managed to score 11 points with 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 5 turnovers with a pair of 3-pointers in the 1st head-to-head matchup with her college nemesis Reese. That was also the same game as the Chennedy Carter controversy, when she intentionally hip-checked Clark. Anyway, get your popcorn!

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Sky at Fever picks and predictions

Prediction

Fever 85, Sky 81

Moneyline

INDIANA (-130) has picked up the pace after a super slow start. After a disastrous game at Connecticut, when coach Christie Sides benched her starters for most of the 2nd half, the team responded well against the Atlanta Dream at home last time out on Thursday.

When the Fever stop playing hero ball, and work together, this is a team with some potential. Clark cannot do it all on her own, but she tries sometimes, but doesn’t have to. There are players more than capable, and lately it has showed.

Aliyah Boston went off for 27 points and 13 rebounds on 12-of-21 shooting against the Mystics, while Kelsey Mitchell was good for 24 points, including 3 triples, in the win. If the team can get secondary and tertiary scoring, not only can Indiana top Chicago, but it could make some noise in the East.

Against the spread

INDIANA -2 (-110) is a better value laying the little bit of points. Yes, last time these teams played, Clark and the Fever won by just a single point. But Chicago +2 (-110) has had some trouble defensively, and Indiana is playing with a little extra lately. Look for the Fever to grab the cover.

Over/Under

OVER 165.5 (-110) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most. Conviction is not terribly high, as these teams combined for just 141 points in the first meeting.

However, the lean is high based on Chicago’s lack of defense lately. Indiana has hit the Over in 4 in a row, and 7 of the past 8. In fact, the only Under during that 8-game span was against the Sky.

Atlanta Dream at Indiana Fever odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Atlanta Dream at Indiana Fever odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Atlanta Dream (5-5) and Indiana Fever (3-10) meet Thursday in a Commissioner’s Cup game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (ESPN3). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Dream vs. Fever odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Tied 2-2

The Dream might be a little angry after falling 87-68 at home Tuesday against the previously winless Washington Mystics as 6.5-point favorites. The embarrassing loss splashed cold water on the good feelings of an 89-80 road win against the Chicago Sky in the game prior.

The Fever also suffered a double-digit loss last time out, falling 89-72 at Connecticut as 10-point underdogs as the Over (159.5) cashed. Indiana coach Christie Sides benched the starters for a large chunk of the 2nd half, as rookie G Caitlin Clark was limited to just 22 minutes. Clark finished with 10 points on 3-of-8 shooting while posting an ugly minus-30 rating.

Indiana has won 2 of the past 4 games, but the 2 losses in the span are by an average of 26.5 points per game. The Over has cashed in 3 in a row, 6 of the past 7 outings, and 9 of the previous 11 contests.

Dream at Fever odds

Provided by FanDuel Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated at 11:10 a.m. ET.

Moneyline (ML): Dream -142 (bet $142 to win $100) | Fever +116 (bet $100 to $116)
Against the spread: Dream -2.5 (-106) | Fever +2.5 (-114)
Over/Under (O/U): 165.5 (O: -104 | U: -118)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Dream at Fever picks and predictions

Prediction

Fever 86, Dream 81

Moneyline

INDIANA (+116) is a solid value as a home ‘dog. It’s hard to trust Atlanta (-142) as a moderate favorite on the road, especially as it just produced the worst stinker of the season in a loss to the previously 0-12 Mystics.

It wasn’t that the Dream lost, either, although that would be bad enough. However, Atlanta lost by 19 points on its home court. That’s inexcusable. Look for Clark and company to be a nightmare for the Dream.

Against the spread

INDIANA +2.5 (-114) is worth a look if you’re a little more on the conservative side, and you’d like a little bit of wiggle room in the event of a close game.

Again, it’s hard to trust Atlanta -2.5 (-106), and the play should be on the Fever straight up for a much better value. Still, if you’d like a little insurance, play the points.

Over/Under

OVER 165.5 (-104) is a strong play whenever the Fever are in action.

Indiana has cashed high on the total in 3 in a row and 6 of the past 7 outings. At home, the Over has connected in 3 of the past 4 games, too.

For Atlanta, the Under is 5-1 in the past 6 games, but the Over did cash in its most recent road game, and the Over is 3-1 in 4 road outings this season.

Indiana Fever at Connecticut Sun odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Indiana Fever at Connecticut Sun odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Indiana Fever (3-9) and Connecticut Sun (9-1) meet Monday in a Commissioner’s Cup game at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (NBA TV). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Fever vs. Sun odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Sun lead 2-0

Indiana will play at Mohegan Sun Arena for the 2nd time this season. That 1st meeting was May 14 in the regular-season opener with Connecticut posting a 92-71 win as a 6.5-point favorite and the Under (166.5) cashing. The Fever played much better at home in the rematch May 20, but the Sun emerged victorious 88-84, but Indiana covered as a 5.5-point underdog and the Over (164) hit.

The Sun have won 10 straight meetings vs. the Fever. The last time Indiana beat Connecticut was July 3, 2021, back when G Caitlin Clark just finished her freshman campaign at Iowa.

Clark matched a career-high with 30 points in an 85-83 win at the Washington Mystics Friday. She also had 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals, but the Fever failed to cover as 3.5-point favorites. In the 2 meetings vs. the Sun, Clark averaged 18.5 PPG with 4.0 APG and 3.5 3-pointers.

Connecticut is coming off its 1st loss of the season, falling as a 2.5-point home underdog to the New York Liberty 82-75 Saturday — the Over (154) cashed. The Sun shot just 40.8% from the field (29-of-71), while going a dismal 25.0% (4-of-16) from behind the 3-point line.

Fever at Sun odds

Moneyline (ML): Fever +490 (bet $100 to win $490) | Sun -750 (bet $750 to win $100)
Against the spread: Fever +11 (-110) | Sun -11 (-110)
Over/Under (O/U): 159.5 (O: -112 | U: -108)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Fever at Sun picks and predictions

Prediction

Sun 80, Fever 72

Moneyline

Connecticut (-750) will cost 7½ times your potential return, and there is never a reason to justify risking that kind of money for such a small reward.

Even as part of a multi-leg parlay, including the Sun will suck all of the value out of your ticket.

AVOID and focus on the spread.

Against the spread

INDIANA +11 (-110) is a strong play catching double digits in this Commissioner’s Cup battle.

While Connecticut is sure to be angry after its 1st loss of the season, both of these teams are 2-1 straight up (SU) so far during the Commissioner’s Cup schedule. The Fever have been playing much better lately, and they covered the rematch against the Sun in Indianapolis.

The Fever are 1-2 ATS as a double-digit underdogs this season, but the Sun are 3-6 ATS in their past 9 games, including the non-cover at Indiana May 20.

Over/Under

UNDER 159.5 (-108) might be the best play on the board in this standalone game Monday.

The Under is 4-1 in the past 5 games for the Sun, and the total went low in the opener in Uncasville between these teams.

Connecticut ranks No. 1 in the WNBA in scoring defense, allowing just 70.6 PPG, while allowing teams to hit just 28.2% from behind the 3-point line, ranking No. 2 in the W.

Meanwhile, Indiana ranks just No. 9 in scoring offense at 78.0 PPG, while hitting only 41.7% from the field, ranking 8th. It should have trouble solving Connecticut’s defense.
