WNBA Preview and Prediction: Indiana Fever vs. Seattle Storm
Spread: Seattle -2.5 | Total: 163.0
Indiana Fever Betting Breakdown
The Fever (16-12) are riding a season-high four-game win streak, and they’re doing it without Caitlin Clark. In her absence, Indiana has found a new rhythm, and it’s working. Friday’s 88-78 win over Dallas was all about balance and momentum. They took control in the second and third quarters and never looked back.
Kelsey Mitchell continues to carry the scoring load, dropping 23 points last game. Meanwhile, veteran Natasha Howard tied a career high with 16 boards, and Aliyah Boston posted a double-double of her own. But the real spark came from Aari McDonald, stepping into Clark’s starting role and delivering 15 points with six assists.
Indiana is proving they can win tough games without their star rookie. They’ve already beaten Seattle once this year, on the road, no less and did it while Clark struggled. The Fever’s size, rebounding, and team-first approach are carrying them at the right time, and they hold the tiebreaker over Seattle.
Seattle Storm Betting Breakdown
Seattle (16-12) comes into this one after a heartbreaking 108-106 double-overtime loss to the Sparks, a game they’ll want to forget fast. Despite a massive 37-point, 12-rebound effort from Nneka Ogwumike, the Storm fell just short. It marked their third loss in their last four home games, raising concerns about their defensive intensity and late-game execution.
Still, the Storm’s offense is potent. Skylar Diggins, Erica Wheeler, and Gabby Williams all contributed double-digit scoring in that thriller. Ezi Magbegor added 11 rebounds and five blocks, offering rim protection even in the chaos.
But this team hasn’t been closing games well. Their energy tends to wane late, and Indiana is a team that’s been closing very well lately. Seattle will need to improve its composure and consistency if it wants to cover as a 2.5-point favorite.
WNBA Game Prediction
Both teams are tied in the standings, but Indiana has been sharper, hungrier, and more cohesive lately, even without Clark. Seattle has the firepower, but their recent late-game letdowns at home are a red flag. Take the Fever moneyline +120 and a slight lean to the Over. Indiana pulls off another close road win, extending their hot streak.
Score Prediction: Indiana 86, Seattle 83
Best Bet: Indiana +120
Total: Over 163.0
