🏆 Who will win Fever vs. Fire?

I like the Fever to win by 11 points today. The Fire have the longest WNBA championship odds, while the Fever have the sixth-shortest. Not only that, but Indiana has won four games in a row, and as Clark's health has improved, so has the Fever's overall performance on the court.

Score prediction: Fever 100, Fire 89


💰 Fever vs. Fire prediction & best bet

Fever -8.5 (-105)

I'm a little contrarian by nature (it's a bad habit), so I usually avoid betting popular sides like Indiana - but this team has fundamentally changed.

With Clark's back injury improving, the Fever have gone on a 3-0 ATS run, covering by an average of 15.5 points per game in that span. That includes a 20-point straight-up win as a 1.5-point underdog against the Liberty July 18.

If the Fever keep playing at this level, the market will eventually catch up - but it hasn't yet. Fever -8.5 (-105) at FanDuel is the best line available among the top sports betting sites.

🔥 Best Fever vs. Fire player prop bet

Caitlin Clark Over 2.5 made 3-pointers (-114)

A lot of the handicapping in this article is based on Clark's back injury improving - and this bet is no different.

Clark's aggression has returned recently, as she is averaging 8.4 three-point attempts per game over her last five outings. She's made four or more 3-pointers in each of her last two games (three if you include the All-Star Game, but I don't) and appears to be back to the Clark we were expecting in the preseason when she was an MVP co-favorite.

Caitlin Clark Over 2.5 made 3-pointers (-114) at DraftKings is the best line available among the top sports betting apps.
