Fever vs Dream predictions
When you look at the Indiana Fever roster heading into this conference showdown, it’s hard not to focus on the dynamic duo of Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston. Mitchell, averaging just over 17 points a game, always seems ready for a breakout night, especially against rivals like the Atlanta Dream. I wouldn’t be surprised if she comes out aggressive, looking to get her hot shooting started early and finish north of her season average. Then there’s Boston—a force in the paint who quietly stuffs the stat sheet with big rebounds and crafty assists. Expect her to have her hands full battling Atlanta’s post players, but if she’s able to establish her usual flow, a double-double feels totally within reach.
Shifting over to the Dream, watch out for Allisha Gray. She’s been an absolute bucket this season, notching over 20 points per game, and that kind of scoring touch usually draws a lot of defensive attention. But here’s where it gets interesting: Rhyne Howard’s vision and ability to dish out assists (sitting at 5.1 per game) should open the floor and keep Indiana guessing. Brionna Jones is another key factor—her work on the glass has a way of creating second-chance opportunities and stalling opponent runs, something Atlanta will definitely want to capitalize on, especially at home in the Gateway Center.
Let’s be real—this one’s set up to be a close, energetic matchup. Both squads have split the season series so far, so there’s a bit of pride riding on this game. With Atlanta getting the home-court boost, plus the combination of efficient scoring from Gray and that well-balanced supporting cast, I like the Dream’s chances of edging this one out. But if Indiana’s stars catch fire? Don’t touch that remote, because this could go down to the wire. Who’s your pick for the win?
