DraftKings Sportsbook<\/a>. Seattle is +410, with the total set at 176.5 points.<\/p>\nLet\u2019s get into a pick and prediction for this Fever vs. Storm game.<\/p>\n
Fever vs. Storm prediction, preview<\/p>\n
Contrary to the early-season struggles, the Fever are title contenders this season. They out-performed expectations last year after Caitlin Clark suffered a season-ending injury, but the superstar is back. She\u2019s averaging 25.3 points and 8.0 assists in 33 minutes per game, but her 5.0 turnovers per game continue to be her biggest weakness.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not single-handedly costing Indiana games, but it\u2019s certainly not helping the team either. Both of the losses thus far have been one-possession games, with the most recent loss coming in overtime. Clark had 32 points, including the game-tying three at the end of regulation. That said, she shot 10-28 from the field with four turnovers. Kelsey Mitchell added 25 points but was also inefficient with 10-25 shooting and three turnovers.<\/p>\n
If the Fever expect to compete with the titans of the WNBA, they\u2019ll need to become more efficient. Clark and Mitchell are a lethal 1-2 combo with Aliyah Boston leading the interior defense. Had one or two possessions gone differently, this team would be 3-0 and discussed as legit contenders. Instead, they have the same record as the rebuilding Storm.<\/p>\n
Seattle will play its third consecutive road game but hasn\u2019t played since Wednesday. Rest will be on the Storm\u2019s side as the Fever played an overtime game on Friday. The Storm are headlined by Dominique Malonga, who is averaging 16 points and 7.3 rebounds across 26.7 minutes per game. She won\u2019t be playing in this contest, however, as she suffered a concussion.<\/p>\n
That sets the Storm back quite a bit, putting the game spread at 10.5 points. Had Malonga played, I could see the Storm covering +10.5, but it\u2019ll be an uphill battle without her. The roster is thin now that Skylar Diggins is playing for the Sky.<\/p>\n
Fever vs. Storm pick, best bet<\/p>\n
Since the Fever aren\u2019t dominating teams, this could\u2019ve been a fun game to watch. But Malonga is sidelined, so that ruins it. Sure, the Storm could still cover the spread, but it\u2019s unlikely now. The Fever should get their first signature win in the 2026 season.<\/p>\n
