American Airlines Center will be buzzing tonight as Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings host Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever.
Three of the top-seven scorers in the W will take the court as Clark and Kelsey Mitchell lead the league’s top-ranked offense on the road.
Read on in my WNBA picks and Fever vs. Wings predictions to see why I expect significant scoring nights from Clark and Bueckers, and why Mitchell will produce a historic performance in a high-scoring affair on Thursday, Aug. 20.
Fever vs Wings prediction
Fever vs Wings best bet: Paige Bueckers Over 21.5 points -110
Paige Bueckers has scored 21-plus points in four straight games and 22-plus in three of her last four. With Azzi Fudd (knee) done for the season, Bueckers will need to pick up the slack on offense for the Dallas Wings. Bueckers is averaging 21.2 ppg in six games without Fudd, going for 22-plus three times, including a 29-point performance against the Fever.
The Indiana Fever rank in the bottom five in FGA, FGM, and PPG allowed to opposing guards, and Indiana sits 12th in defensive rating.
Bueckers will need to get buckets to keep her team competitive against the W’s highest-scoring offense. Play this to 24.5.
COVERS INTEL: Over the last 10 games, the Indiana Fever have given up the highest mid-range shooting percentage (44.3). Bueckers is averaging 6.3 shots per game in the 10-to-19 feet range, good for the second-most leaguewide.
Fever vs Wings same-game parlay
Kelsey Mitchell owns the single-season record for consecutive 20-point games at 20, but one more 20-point performance will put her ahead of A’ja Wilson for the all-time record across any span. She’s scored 25-plus points 19 times this season, tied for the most in the W, and a high-scoring game script should keep the buckets coming.
The Fever sport a 115 offensive rating and are scoring 96.4 ppg, tops in the WNBA. The Wings rank sixth in both categories, and a high-scoring matchup is on tap as two of the top three scorers and three of the top seven compete.
Fever vs Wings SGP +365
- Paige Bueckers Over 21.5 points
- Kelsey Mitchell Over 24.5 points

Fever vs Wings player prop pick
Catlin Clark -118
At 22.1 ppg, Clark ranks third in the W in scoring, just behind Mitchell (24.3). She’s been even more productive over her last 10 outings, averaging 25.1.
During that span, Clark is averaging 25.5 points across six road games, going for 24-plus in three straight and five of six overall.
She scored 29 in her last tilt with Dallas, and I expect Clark to reach the 24-point plateau once again in a high-scoring road matchup.
