Wings vs. Fever Prediction: WNBA Picks for Friday, Aug. 14
My Wings vs. Fever prediction doesn't expect much of a contest tonight at 7:30 p.m. ET in Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis on ION.
Indiana is a 7.5-point favorite and is playing its best basketball of the season as a WNBA championship odds contender. Dallas has struggled of late and will be without three players.

🏆 Who will win Wings vs. Fever?
I predict the Fever to win by nine points against the Wings on Friday. Dallas will be without Azzi Fudd, Jessica Shepard, and Aziaha James in this matchup. The Wings don't have the depth to overcome their absences, especially given how they've been playing since the All-Star break.
Score prediction: Fever 95, Wings 86
💰 Wings vs. Fever prediction & best bet
Fever -7.5 (-110)
This line has climbed from 5.5 overnight, but it's still worth a half-unit play at -7.5 or better. Indiana is the much hotter team right now.
Since July 17, the Fever are 7-2 and rank second in the WNBA with a net rating of +11.9. The Wings are 4-6 with a -1.3 net rating over that span. Dallas has failed to cover the spread in four straight contests.
I believe the recent form is an indication of each team's true talent. I'll lay the points.
🔥 Best Wings vs. Fever player prop bet
Paige Bueckers Over 5.5 assists (-150)
Dallas guard Paige Bueckers will be asked to put the team on her back tonight. If the Wings have any hope of pulling off the upset, Bueckers must have a big game.
In her one game without Shepard this season, Bueckers' usage rating climbed to 27.2%. She finished with eight assists on 16 potential dimes against the Toronto Tempo last time out.
The Fever will be motivated to get the ball out of Bueckers' hands, so I could see another strong assist performance tonight. DraftKings is the lone shop offering this market at 5.5, though I'd be willing to take the plus-money prices on Over 6.5 assists for a half-unit play.
🚀 Wings vs. Fever same-game parlay
My Wings vs. Fever predictions aren't really correlated, so DraftKings offers a nice +435 payout for this parlay. I've opted to include Kelsey Mitchell's scoring line due to her recent stretch. Mitchell has scored 25-plus points in 14 of her previous 16 contests, averaging 28 per game over that span.
