Fever vs Wings Prediction

The Fever have been playing their best basketball of the season lately, winning six of their last 10 games to improve to 11-14 on the season.  Led by rookie sensation Caitlin Clark, who is averaging 18.4 points per game over her last 11 matchups, Indiana has settled in nicely to make a real push for the playoffs.

The Fever currently hold the No. 7 seed in the WNBA, with a three-game lead on the Atlanta Dream (No. 9) and a half-game lead on the Chicago Sky (No. 8). Indiana is a contender in the WNBA Championship odds at +1200, while Dallas is a +3000 longshot.

On the other hand, the Wings have struggled mightily this season, posting a league-worst 5-19 record. Injuries have played a significant role in Dallas’ troubles, with star forward Satou Sabally out until after the Olympic break and Natasha Howard missing time earlier in the season.

The Wings have relied heavily on Arike Ogunbowale, but it hasn’t been enough to turn their fortunes around, as they enter this game on a three-game losing streak. Still, we will be targeting Dallas’ star player in the WNBA player props below.

Fever vs Wings Head-to-Head Stats

Given the Fever’s momentum and the Wings’ ongoing struggles, Indiana should be able to secure a win on the road. The Fever have been rolling as of late, ranking fifth in the league in net rating over their last 10 games.

With Clark and company playing at a high level, we expect Indiana to continue their strong play and enter the Olympic break with a victory. Take Indiana to cover 3.5 points in the team’s final game before the Olympics.

On the other hand, Dallas is the underdog, with an implied probability of 40% to pull off the upset. Oddsmakers don’t have any recent history on which to base the WNBA odds, as this will be the first regular-season meeting between the two teams.

The odds reflect the recent performance of both teams, with the Fever playing well and the Wings struggling. Indiana has been a solid bet lately, going 7-3 against the spread (ATS) in their last 10 games and 4-1 ATS in their last five as a favorite.

Meanwhile, Dallas has been a poor bet, going just 1-9 ATS in their last 10 and 0-5 ATS in their last five as an underdog. The Wings did defeat the Fever 79-76 in WNBA preseason, which isn’t reflected in these lackluster numbers.

WNBA Player Props for Wednesday

Caitlin Clark Over 9.5 Assists

When it comes to player props, Caitlin Clark is always a player to watch for the Fever. With her impressive all-around game, Clark has the potential to stuff the stat sheet on any given night. We’re backing the over on her assists prop, as she has averaged 10.0 assists per game over her last 11 matchups.

With the Wings struggling defensively, Clark should have plenty of opportunities to find her teammates for easy baskets. We also think she’ll want to make one final statement that the US Olympic team was wrong to keep her off the roster.

• Prop Pick: Caitlyn Clark Over 9.5 Assists

Arike Ogunbowale Over 3.5 Three-Pointers Made

Another player prop to consider is Arike Ogunbowale’s three-point total. Ogunbowale is a high-volume shooter from beyond the arc, averaging 8.9 attempts per game this season.

Despite a recent slump, she should be able to take advantage of the Fever’s defense, which allows opponents to shoot 34.9% from three-point range.

• Prop Pick: Arike Ogunbowale Over 3.5 Three-Pointers Made

Kelsey Mitchell Over 17.5 points

Our Final WNBA player prop for Wednesday is Kelsey Mitchell over 17.5 points.  The 28-year-old guard has been a consistent scorer for the Fever, averaging 17.1 points per game this season.

Mitchell has topped the 20-point mark in three of her last five games and should be able to continue that trend against a porous Wings defense.

• Prop Pick: Kelsey Mitchell Over 17.5 Points

Fever vs Wings Injury Report

The most significant injury to note for this matchup is Dallas forward Satou Sabally, who is out until after the Olympic break due to a shoulder injury. Sabally’s absence has been a major blow to the Wings, as she is one of their top players and a key contributor on both ends of the floor.

For the Fever, there are no major injuries to report, giving them a clear advantage in terms of roster depth and health. This should allow Indiana to maintain their impressive level of play and exploit the shorthanded Wings.
