These teams have not played since, but they\u2019ll face off twice in the next six days with some major playoff implications on the line.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"a0\">Entering Friday, Dallas is just 1.5 games back of the Fever in the standings and could make a serious push for a top-four seed with a strong close to the regular season. Meanwhile, the Fever are looking to build on an impressive record at home (12-6) this season.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"a3\">If you\u2019re looking to bet on this Wings vs. Fever game, you\u2019ve come to the right place.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"a6\">Here\u2019s a breakdown of the odds, a player prop to bet and my prediction for Friday\u2019s marquee matchup.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Wings vs. Fever Odds, Spread and Total<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"ac\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/4kJjtBu\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"af\">Spread<\/p>\n<p>Wings +5.5 (-105)Fever -5.5 (-115)<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"al\">Moneyline<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"ar\">Total<\/p>\n<p>187.5 (Over -110\/Under -110)Wings vs. Fever How to WatchDate: Friday, Aug. 14Time: 7:30 p.m. ESTVenue: Gainbridge FieldhouseHow to Watch (TV): ION, WNBA League PassWings record: 20-14Fever record: 21-12Wings vs. Fever Injury ReportsWings Injury ReportAzzi Fudd &#8212; outJessica Shepard &#8212; outAziaha James &#8212; outFever Injury Report\u00a0Caitlin Clark &#8212; probableAliyah Boston &#8212; probableWings vs. Fever Best WNBA Prop BetsFever Best WNBA Prop BetCaitlin Clark to Record a Double-Double (-113)<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-24\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"br\">Caitlin Clark had a big game against Dallas earlier this season, scoring 20 points and dishing out seven dimes in a loss.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-25\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"bu\">The star guard has really picked up her play over her last nine games, averaging 26.0 points and 9.3 assists per game while shooting over 49 percent from the field and over 44 percent from 3. Clark has recorded six double-doubles in that nine-game stretch, and she could be in the mix for another on Friday.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-26\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"bx\">Dallas has slipped to seventh in the WNBA in opponent assists per game, and Clark has improved her season average to 8.2 dimes per night. The star guard has scored at least 10 points in 27 of her 29 games this year, so this bet is basically on Clark getting 10 boards or 10 assists on Friday night.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-27\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"c0\">Since she\u2019s -116 to record 10 or more assists, I don\u2019t mind getting the -113 price for the former No. 1 overall pick to record her seventh double-double in her last 10 games.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Wings vs. Fever Prediction and Pick<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-29\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"c6\">Earlier today, I shared in my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/betting\/wnba-best-bets-today-predictions-prop-bets-for-wings-vs-fever-fire-vs-storm-on-friday\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">WNBA Best Bets column \u2013 Peter\u2019s Points<\/a> \u2013 why I think Indiana is a great bet at home in this matchup:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-30\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"c9\">Dallas upset Indiana earlier this season, and Bueckers and Co. have proven that they are a playoff-caliber team just one season after they finished with the worst record in the WNBA, winning just 10 games.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-31\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"cc\">However, I am going to side with the Fever in this rematch on Friday night.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-32\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"cf\">Indiana is 8-8 against the spread when favored at home and has won 12 of 18 home games in the 2026 season. The Fever have the third-best net rating at home in the WNBA (plus-10.0), and they lead the league in offensive rating this season.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-33\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"ci\">Dallas will be short-handed in this matchup as Jessica Shepard (who missed the team\u2019s last game) and Azzi Fudd have been ruled out. Plus, the Wings haven\u2019t exactly looked great since the All-Star break. Over their last 10 games, the Wings are ninth in the league in net rating (minus-0.8), and they\u2019ve struggled as road underdogs this season, covering the spread in just three of eight games.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-34\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"cl\">In those eight games, Dallas has an average scoring margin of minus-6.4 points per game.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-35\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"co\">There\u2019s no doubt that the Wings are coming back to earth after closing the first half of the season in a top four spot, and I have a hard time buying them on the road against this talented Fever team.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-36\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"cr\">Unless Bueckers has a huge game, I think Indiana is a solid bet to cover on Friday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-37\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"cu\">Pick: Fever -5.5 <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/4kJjtBu\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\" target=\"_blank\">(-115 at DraftKings)<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-39\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"cz\">Odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-40\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"d2\">If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1-800-GAMBLER.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-41\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"d5\">Find Peter Dewey&#8217;s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/1BIvWO-S-TFepu-8DBiXfx10kJJ4Zi7ctpMBVYK9oCZQ\/edit?usp=sharing\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">WNBA betting record here<\/a>\u00a0(futures included).
