Fever vs. Dream Key Matchup
The primary battle will be between Caitlin Clark and Rhyne Howard. Clark, entering her sophomore season, has shown significant improvement in her physicality and leadership, making her a formidable force on the court. Howard, on the other hand, continues to be a consistent scorer and playmaker for the Dream.
Fever vs. Dream Prediction
I’m tempted to lay the 3.5 with the Fever but I do believe the better bet is the under. I think this total is way too high. I could see an 85-80 win for Fever, so if you want to parlay Indiana and the under for a slice of a bigger payout, I don’t hate it. That said, give me the under.
FEVER VS. DREAM WNBA BETTING PREDICTION: UNDER 172.5
