Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever face the Chicago Sky. Our WNBA odds series includes our Fever Sky prediction, odds, and choice. Discover how to watch Fever Sky.
When did the Indiana Fever’s season take a dramatic turn for the better? It occurred on the first day of June, a Saturday, in Indianapolis. Indiana defeated the Chicago Sky by a single point in a hard-fought contest. The Fever played an extremely difficult and challenging game against a committed opponent. Indiana had only one win that season. The Fever were 1-8 before that game.
They were yet to win a game at home. They didn’t trust themselves. They stumbled around in the dark. After dragging that game out of the flames, the Fever rallied together, discovered fresh strength and chemistry on the court, and proceeded to rack up victories. Since their victory over the Sky on June 1, the Fever have won six of their last eight games.
Two of the six victories have been against the Sky. Caitlin Clark’s victory over Angel Reese has served as motivation for both Clark and her teammates. This has quickly become a heated and intriguing competition, and the Fever have dominated it. It will be interesting to see if the Sky can counteract the Fever, who have surpassed Chicago in the standings. If the season ended before Sunday’s game in Chicago, Indiana would be in the WNBA playoffs, a half-game ahead of the Sky. We’ll see if the Sky can turn their season around with a win over the Fever, just three weeks after the Fever did the same.

Why Fever Can Cover the Spread and Win
The Fever are a very different team than what we saw earlier in the season. Everyone on this team is defending aggressively, competing well, and becoming less of a liability on both ends of the court. The Fever have improved over the last five minutes of regulation. They were terrible in the last minutes of games when they began the season 1-8. They have performed far better in their most recent series of eight games. One of the opponents the Fever has defeated is Chicago, which has been empirically worse than Indiana in June and is experiencing the kinds of troubles the Fever can relate to. Chicago just doesn’t have a full roster. More is required to make this team more dangerous and scary. The Sky have few good pure shooters. They are therefore easy to defend and do not have a backup plan against their opponents. Caitlin Clark enjoys playing in this game, knowing that the Fever have more offensive weapons than the Sky. It’s difficult to bet against the Fever when they face one of the WNBA’s lower-tier clubs. Indiana has been winning the games it is intended to win, and this game is one example.
Why Sky Can Cover the Spread/Win
You know the Fever are sick and tired of losing to them and hearing about the Caitlin Clark-Angel Reese story. Expect the Sky to be revved up for this game and put on one of their greatest defensive performances of the season.
