Indiana Fever vs. Atlanta Dream Prediction, Picks
The Fever have been the better team since the first few weeks of the season, or effectively when Clark started getting comfortable with the pro game. Clark now leads the Fever in points per game, assists per game, 3-pointers per game (and turnovers per game.) Clark, perhaps most importantly, is the WNBA leader in assists per game at 8.3.
Here’s where the Dream could succeed: Defense. Indiana has none of it and Atlanta, though it’s not elite, has put up good to strong defensive numbers all season. They sit at 5th in opponent points allowed so far this season. If they can slow Clark even slightly, there might be enough of a window for them to sneak by.
Fever vs. Dream Odds
| Team | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Indiana Fever | -1.5 (-110) | -125 | O 167.5 (-110) |

As you can see above, the Fever are slight away favorites for tonight’s matchup. The Fever are not good on the road and the Dream are not good at home, but one team has Caitlin Clark and the other does not. At the same time, I’m just not sure Atlanta can hold up defensively against the Fever. Regardless, Indiana is a -1.5 favorite at -110. Taking the Fever straight up sits at -125 while picking Atlanta outright sits at +100 on Fanatics.

Come on folks, were we going to bet on anything else? At this point, you’d have to have a screw loose to bet the under of Caitlin Clark, especially against a team that she had success against a month ago. I understand I’m betting on a double-double here, but she’s that good and I’m that confident
Indiana is a good offensive team, but they’re also a downright horrific defensive team. Howard, who tore it up at Kentucky her final season, dropped 26 against the Fever last time they played, and I could see a similar result happening tonight in front of a home crowd.
