Fever vs Storm predictions
If you’ve been following the Indiana Fever lately, you already know a lot hinges on the dynamic play of Caitlin Clark. The rookie sensation has been filling up the stat sheet all season, averaging just under 20 points per game while also driving the offense with almost nine assists per outing. Traveling to face the Storm in Seattle, Clark’s combination of scoring and playmaking will likely be under the spotlight once again. Expect Aliyah Boston to play a critical role as well, especially on the boards; with her 8+ rebounds per game, she’s a constant interior presence and should remain active on both ends. If the Fever want to snap this three-game road skid, both Clark’s shot-making and Boston’s paint dominance will have to be dialed up a notch.
Speaking of electrifying backcourts, Seattle isn’t lacking in that department either. Skylar Diggins-Smith continues to remind fans why she’s one of the league’s most reliable guards, putting up over 18 points and handing out more than six assists each night. Paired with her veteran savvy, she sets the tone for how the Storm attack offensively. And let’s not forget Nneka Ogwumike, who never seems to take a night off when it comes to battling under the rim; her 8.4 rebounds per game highlight her consistency. With the Storm’s strong track record at Climate Pledge Arena, their stars know how to feed off the hometown energy and protect their home court.
Looking at how both teams have performed lately and sizing up the matchups, it feels like Seattle holds the slight edge heading into this one. The Storm have been tough at home—just ask their opponents about the noise and the energy—and their mix of veteran leadership with Diggins-Smith and Ogwumike has given them the poise needed in tight games. While the Fever’s backcourt fireworks will be fun to watch, the combination of Seattle’s defense and depth could be just enough to extend Indiana’s road struggles for another night. What do you think—are the Storm about to make that home crowd proud again?
