On Sunday, July 13, the Indiana Fever (10-10) will host the Dallas Wings (6-15) in a WNBA regular-season matchup. The Fever are barely holding on to the seventh spot while the Wings have tumbled to 12th.
The Fever will come into this game after a much-needed 99-82 win against the Atlanta Dream, as Kelsey Mitchell poured in 25 points. On the other hand, the Wings enter the affair 76-87 loss against the Chicago Sky despite a double-double by Li Yueru.
Can the Fever stitch together two wins in a row against struggling Wings? Go through the predictions related to player props, total, and spread here.
The Fever has been inconsistent on both ends these days. The last game’s 99-point performance against the Atlanta Dream is promising, though. Their defense has been alright as the team usually conceded in the early 80s.
On the other hand, the Wings are among the worst defensive teams. A strong offensive team can easily get past 90 against them. Their offense is inconsistent, too. Overall, I see a high scorer here.
Total: Over 174.5 for -110 at BetMGM
Here is an overview of my selections:
| Picks | BetMGM Odds |
| Total O 174.5 | -110 |
| Spread- Wings +10.5 | -110 |
| Aliyah Boston O 15.5 Points | -120 |
| Money Line- Fever | -550 |
Caitlin Clark O 8.5 assists: Clark’s scoring has been off, but her playmaking has been A-grade as usual. She has tallied an impressive 8.6 APG. I expect her to dish at least 9 assists here.
Paige Bueckers O 18.5 points: Bueckers is averaging an impressive 18.1 points per game. She has scored fewer than 18 in two straight games. But I expect her to explode for her at least 20 here against former NCAA rival, Caitlin Clark.
Aliyah Boston O 16.5 points: Fever center, Boston has been a terrific interior presence. She is tallying 16.2 PPG and has scored 19 or more in three of the four games. I expect her to score at least 17 against the vulnerable Fever team.
Main pick: Aliyah Boston O 15.5 points for -120 at BetMGM
The Fever will enter as the favorites here. Dallas has been in tatters and relies more on individual success than a strong scoring success. Arike Ogunbowale will be back after a break, but the Wings SG hasn’t changed much.
Fever isn’t playing the best ball, but they will be much more confident after beating a strong Dream squad. At any rate, earlier I was backing the Fever to cover the spread, but the projection of -10.5 seems too much. Thus, I see Wings losing but withing 6-9 points.
Spread/Money Line Pick: Spread: Wings +10.5 for -110 at BetMGM

nba Hi, I am Shubham. I am currently an NBA Predictions Writer on The Playoffs. I enjoy this job because it helps keep me in the loop about the game I love while fulfilling the pleasure I derive from stats. I got into NBA writing through social media interactions in the mid-2010s as I shared my takes on young talents such as D’Angelo Russell. I hope you enjoy reading my pieces as much as Dennis Rodman loved rebounding the basketball!
