The Indiana Fever (7-11) and Seattle Storm (10-6) meet Thursday at Climate Pledge Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (Prime Video). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Fever vs. Storm odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Storm lead 2-0

After a dismal 1-8 straight-up (SU) start, the Fever have started to piece things together. They’ve won 4 of the past 5 games, while covering the spread in all 5.

Indiana visited Seattle already this season, falling 85-83 May 22, but it was able to cover as 5.5-point underdog as the Over (167) cashed. The Storm also won in Indianapolis May 30, prevailing 103-88 as a 5.5-point favorite, again — with the Over (167.5) connecting.

Seattle G Jewell Loyd dropped 22 points, 6 assists and 2 triples in the May 30 win in Indianapolis. On the flip side, rookie Indiana G Caitlin Clark had 20 points with 9 assists and 3 treys, while F NaLyssa Smith posted 23 points and 10 boards. F Aliyah Boston also had a double-double, finishing with 11 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists.

The Storm have lost 2 of the past 3 games, while also going 1-2 against the spread (ATS). However, at home, Seattle has won 5 in a row, while covering the past 4 games. The last non-cover at CPA came against the Fever May 22.

Fever at Storm picks and predictions

Prediction

Storm 89, Fever 84

Moneyline

Seattle (-480) will cost nearly 5 times the potential return, which is way too risky. Indiana (+350) is playing with a lot more confidence than it was in the previous 2 installments, and the Fever nearly pulled off the road upset in their first visit to Climate Pledge Arena earlier in the season.

PASS.

Against the spread

Back INDIANA +9.5 (-110) as a solid underdog play in Seattle.

The Fever enter with a season-high 5 consecutive covers, while winning 4 of those games outright.

Seattle did rout Indiana at Gainbridge Fieldhouse by 15 points in the most recent meeting May 30, but at least the Fever have been playing much better since then. Clark, Boston, Smith and G Kelsey Mitchell are starting to jell nicely as a team.

Over/Under

OVER 167.5 (-110) is easily the best play on the board.

It’s been all about the Over for Indiana lately, cashing in 8 straight games, and 11 of the past 12 outings, including the most recent meeting with Indiana May 30.

The Storm dropped 103 points on the Fever in the most recent battle, and the Over has cashed in each of the 2 meetings to date. In fact, that 103-point outburst was a season high for Seattle. The Over has a slight 3-2 edge in the past 5 outings for the Storm, too.

Indiana Fever at Seattle Storm odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Indiana Fever (0-4) and Seattle Storm (1-3) meet Wednesday at Climate Pledge Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Fever vs. Storm odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: First meeting; Fever won 2-1 in 2023

The Fever have dropped all 4 games to date, but Indiana is getting a lot closer. After losing by 21 or more points in each of the 1st 2 games, Indiana covered the spread in the past 2 outings, both rematches. That includes an 88-84 loss at Gainbridge Fieldhouse against the Connecticut Sun on Monday night, cashing as 5.5-point underdogs as the Over (164) connected.

No. 1 overall pick Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell each scored a team-best 17 points in the loss to the Sun, while Clark hit 3 triples to go along with 5 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 blocked shots.

The Storm dropped a 74-63 game at New York on Monday, but covered as 14-point underdogs as the Under (165.5) connected. The total has gone low in 3 of 4 games, and like Indiana, it has covered the past 2 outings after opening 0-2 against the spread (ATS).

The Storm have a couple of players listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday’s tilt, as rookie G Nika Muhl (personal) is considered probable, while F Nneka Ogwumike (ankle) carries a questionable tag. She missed the past 2 games of the road trip after rolling her ankle in the 2OT loss in Minnesota last weekend.

Over/Under (O/U): 163.5 (O: -115 | U: -105)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Fever at Storm picks and predictions

Prediction

Storm 81, Fever 77

Moneyline

The Storm (-250) will cost you 2 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s quite a bit of risk. While Muhl is likely to be able to suit up, Ogwumike is less of a certainty. The team beat a winless Washington team without her, but produced a season-low 63 points in New York without her services. If Ogwumike cannot go, Seattle is super risky.

PASS, and look to the spread instead.

Against the spread

The FEVER +5.5 (-110) is worth playing lightly in this road contest.

Indiana has looked much better in the past 2 games than it did in the 1st 2 outings. Clark appears to be getting much more comfortable, and she has started to chop down her turnovers after committing 10 in the opener at Connecticut. She is still going to have a lot of miscues, as she handles the ball a lot. But she also makes several triples per game, too. She’ll help keep Indiana competitive in this game.
