Dream vs. Fever Betting Odds
According to oddsmakers from online sportsbook Bovada.lv, the Fever are 2.5-point favorites to beat the Dream. The total, meanwhile, sits at 167 points.
Fever Look to Rebound on Home Court
Indiana is fresh off a tough 80–61 defeat to Golden State, where the offense faltered after a strong start and shot only 30.9% overall. Despite the loss, their lineup is back to full strength, with Caitlin Clark returning from injury. Clark was verseed praising rookie Makayla Timpson after Timpson’s career-high 10 points, saying, “She’s going to be a great asset for us… when her number has been called, she’s really produced”.
Clark’s return—after five missed games—will be huge: she’s a dynamic facilitator and perimeter threat, and her presence should open up offensive opportunities. The Fever also boast a strong starting five with Kelsey Mitchell, Aliyah Boston, and veteran Natasha Howard.
Dream Riding High into Indiana
Atlanta has been rolling lately, holding a 12–7 record and sitting fourth in the Eastern Conference standings . They come off a solid win over expansion-side Golden State Valkyries, 90–81, fueled by Allisha Gray’s 24-point performance and Naz Hillmon’s four 3‑pointers. With two All‑Stars in Gray and Rhyne Howard, Atlanta continues to score efficiently—ranking among the WNBA’s top four in scoring.
Matchup & Key Storylines
Head-to-head history: Atlanta has taken two out of three to date; the Fever will be determined to even the score at home.
Clark factor: Her return dramatically changes Indiana’s offensive flow—expect more ball movement and spacing.
Shooting duel: Atlanta fires a high volume of 3s; Indiana prides itself on perimeter defense. This contrast could shape the game’s tempo and scoring.
Bench contributions: Timpson’s emergence and depth from both sides could swing momentum during second-unit stretches.
Dream vs. Fever Prediction
Expect an entertaining home matchup with Indiana eager to bounce back and Atlanta looking to solidify its playoff position. Clark’s return gives the Fever a needed spark, but the Dream’s offensive rhythm and recent clutch performances can’t be ignored. Look for a close, competitive game decided down the wire—possibly with Indianapolis eking out a narrow home victory. That said, I believe the best bet is the over. There’s reason to believe this one could go to overtime.
