Wings vs Fever predictions
Looking at the Dallas Wings heading into this matchup, all eyes naturally gravitate toward Paige Bueckers. She’s been the clear spark for the Wings lately, leading them in both points and assists. Against Indiana’s lively backcourt, you can expect Bueckers to shoulder a heavy load, likely pushing for another 18-20 point game while staying aggressive as a playmaker. Myisha Hines-Allen might be the X-factor on the boards—Dallas will need her hustle if they hope to keep up with Indiana’s front line, so don’t be surprised if she grabs around 6 or 7 rebounds as she battles Boston in the paint.
On the Indiana Fever side, you have to talk about Kelsey Mitchell. She’s coming off that monster 25-point night, and her hot hand doesn't seem like it's cooling off anytime soon, especially with the Wings struggling defensively on the road. Caitlin Clark is another name that just keeps getting bigger and bigger, and given her tendency to drop dimes, she's probably primed for a double-digit assist performance tonight. Aliyah Boston, meanwhile, should dominate the glass as she does most nights at home, so pencil her in for another solid night, flirting with a double-double if the Wings give up any second-chance opportunities.
When it comes down to it, the way these two teams have been playing—the Fever holding their own at home and Dallas still searching for answers, especially outside their own arena—it’s tough not to lean heavily toward Indiana here. With Mitchell firing on all cylinders and Clark orchestrating the offense, the Fever just seem to have too many weapons for the Wings to match for a full four quarters. Don’t be shocked if Indiana handles business and comes away with another win at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
