The Indiana Fever (13-16) and Atlanta Dream (10-18) meet Monday at State Farm Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (NBA TV). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Fever vs. Dream odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.
Season series: Fever lead 2-0
The Fever lost 90-80 at Minnesota Saturday as 5-point underdogs as the Over (168.5) connected just barely. Despite the non-cover, Indiana is still a respectable 4-2 against the spread (ATS) in the past 6 games, while the Over is on a 5-2 roll in the previous 7 outings.
The Dream split a pair of games with the visiting Phoenix Mercury in a back-to-back Wednesday and Friday, and Atlanta is a healthy 5-0-2 ATS in the past 7 games and 7-1-2 ATS across the previous 10 outings. The Under is 2-0-1 in the past 3 contests while going 6-2-1 in the past 9 games.
These teams last met June 21 in Atlanta, with G Caitlin Clark and Indiana coming away with a 91-79 win as 3-point favorites as the Over (163.5) easily came through. Clark went for 16 points, including four 3-pointers, while adding 7 assists. F NaLyssa Smith led the charge with 21 points and 9 boards on an efficient 10-of-17 shooting, while F Aliyah Boston had a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds to go along with 3 blocked shots.

Fever at Dream picks and predictions
Prediction
Fever 83, Dream 80
Moneyline
INDIANA (-154) is a solid play in this road battle in the ATL.
The Fever have won each of the previous meetings this season, including the earlier battle in Atlanta June 21 by 12 points. The Fever have won and covered 3 in a row in this series, too.
Atlanta (+126) is just 4-12 across the past 16 games, and it has to prove it can get over the hump against Clark and the Fever before bettors can trust the Dream won’t be a nightmare.
Against the spread
The Fever were 1.5-point underdogs Sunday morning, and the line shifting all the way to Indiana becoming 3-point favorites may be too aggressive of a move.
If you like Indiana, the ML is the safer play and still available at a decent price.
PASS.
Over/Under
UNDER 166.5 (-110) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most.
The Under has dominated for Atlanta lately, cashing at a 6-2-1 clip in the past 9 games, including 3-1-1 in the previous 5 home outings. There is risk, though, as the Over has connected in each of the previous 2 meetings this season with Indiana.
For the Fever, while the Over has dominated this season going 19-10 overall, the Under has a slight 6-5 edge across the past 11 games dating back to June 27. And, the Under is 4-2 in the past 6 outings on the road.
