Fever vs. Valkyries Prediction
Expect Indiana to control tempo, leaning on Clark’s playmaking and scoring. The Valkyries will fight hard—especially in front of the home crowd—but may struggle against Fever’s upgraded firepower. Golden State’s rebounding edge and home comforts offer resistance, but Clark’s presence shifts balance decisively eastward.
A solid double-digit win for Indiana, propelled by Clark and consistent backcourt play.
The Valkyries stay competitive but fall short due to offensive inconsistency and adjustment to their evolving roster.
Bottom Line
Indiana’s rejuvenated attack, spearheaded by Caitlin Clark, seems well-equipped to handle Golden State’s growing pains. Unless the Valkyries control the boards and force turnovers, the Fever have the edge—and should cover the spread.
