The Fever have put the WNBA on notice.
The Fever have put the WNBA on notice.
Playing without injured star Caitlin Clark, Indiana won the Commissioner’s Cup this week as a double-digit road underdog. It followed that up with an 81-54 win over the Aces.
The Fever are the first team this season to allow fewer than 60 points in consecutive games. This newfound defensive domination has seemingly come out of nowhere.
Experienced sports bettors often predict regression, relying on the larger sample size of the entire season. However, given they began the year with so many moving parts of offseason acquisitions and Clark’s injuries, I am inclined to think this team has found an identity and will continue to outperform the early-season metrics.
The Fever host the Sparks on Saturday as 7.5-point favorites with a total of 162.
The Sparks are unimpressive with the league’s second-worst record at 5-13.
