WNBA Preview and Prediction: Indiana Fever vs. New York Liberty
Spread: New York -10.0 | Total: 163.5
Indiana Fever Breakdown
The Fever pulled out a gritty 85-77 win over the Sun on Tuesday night, but Caitlin Clark’s health looms large. She grabbed at her groin late after dishing a key assist, reigniting concerns about the injury that sidelined her earlier this season. With the All-Star break looming and this being a second leg of a back-to-back, Indiana could play it cautious, especially considering her brutal road shooting splits (just 2-for-35 from three away from home this season).
Indiana’s overall form has been solid lately, but without a fully healthy Clark, this matchup gets much tougher. The Fever are 12-10 and have shown they can close games, but this is a significant step up in competition and circumstances.
New York Liberty Breakdown
The Liberty erased a 19-point deficit to beat Atlanta on Sunday, showcasing the kind of depth championship-caliber teams lean on. Leonie Fiebich erupted for a career-high 21 points, hitting all three of her third-quarter shots and energizing the comeback. She’s proving to be an elite shooter off the bench, giving New York another dangerous perimeter threat alongside Sabrina Ionescu and Breanna Stewart.
Ionescu has struggled from deep in recent games but remains a central figure offensively. Stewart, meanwhile, continues to stuff the stat sheet in multiple roles and will be heading to her seventh All-Star appearance. With multiple weapons and high-end defense, New York looks poised to assert control early, especially against a potentially depleted Indiana squad.
WNBA Game Prediction:
This is a tough spot for the Fever. Clark’s status is questionable, they’re on short rest, and their road shooting woes are glaring. Meanwhile, New York is healthy, motivated, and deep. Lay the points confidently.
Score Prediction: New York 88, Indiana 72
Best Bet: New York -10.0
Total: Under 163.5
