Indiana @ Dallas picks

Paige Bueckers is finding rhythm at the professional level as the Dallas Wings continue to find success. The team has won three of its last four games and covered in four of its last five. The Indiana Fever have lost three of its last four and covered only once in its last five games. Winning Friday’s matchup with the surging Wings won’t get any easier with Caitlin Clark out of action. The Fever are 2-4 straight up with Clark on the sideline this season. Over the last four games’ opposite trajectories, Indiana ranks ninth in offensive rating, 10th in defensive rating and 10th in net rating. Dallas ranks 11th in offensive rating, but the Wings have put the clamps on and rank second in defensive rating in that span.

Boston has grabbed 9+ boards in five of her last six outings, including a 10-rebound effort yesterday, and she’ll need to be around the rim here to corral a Wings team that leads the league in offensive rebounds (12 per contest). After DeWanna Bonner’s exit, Indiana is short on frontcourt help, so look for Boston to log at least 33 minutes for a fourth straight game.
