Indiana Fever vs. Seattle Storm

The final game of the slate will take place tonight at 10:00 pm ET between the Fever and Storm. This will be the first meeting between the two teams.

The Fever are just 4-7 on the year and allowed 100 points in regulation to Atlanta in a 100-94 loss. Meanwhile, the Storm are 3-8 and haven’t played great defense either.

Both teams have allowed over 84 points per game. However, Indiana is scoring at a higher rate, adding 82.8 points per game to Seattle’s 77.2 points per game. The Fever are shooting at a higher rate, rebounding at a higher rate, and adding more assists per game.

On the other hand, the Storm is a bit better on the defensive end in terms of earning more blocks and steals. But Indiana is shooting 44.4% from the field, which is third-best in the league. They’re not great from three-point range but get 16 points per game from Aliyah Boston. Kelsey Mitchell has also added 17.5 points. Those two are terrific scorers and should pace the Fever tonight.

On the other hand, Jewell Loyd has become one of the best players in the WNBA with Seattle. She’s earned 26.2 points per game on nearly 41% from the field. Loyd just added 33 against the Sun. However, no other player scored more than 13. I’ll take the team with more depth on the road.

Bet: Fever -1.5 (-110)
