The Seattle Storm and Indiana Fever meet for the second time this season as the teams clash at Gainbridge Fieldhouse tonight.
Seattle has been playing competitive basketball as of late, and my Storm vs. Fever predictions expect the visiting team to keep this game close.
Read on for my WNBA picks for Friday, July 17.
Storm vs Fever prediction
Storm vs Fever best bet: Storm +9.5 (-115)
The Seattle Storm have covered the spread in five of their last eight games thanks to elite defense and improving offense. The young core of Flau’jae Johnson, Awa Fam, and Dominique Malonga have all hit their stride.
The Storm are 7-2 ATS as dogs of 8.5+ points, while the Indiana Fever are just 3-5 when favored by 8.5 points or more.
Caitlin Clark has not been herself recently due to health and limited playing time, while the Fever’s two-way engine, Aliyah Boston, is questionable. I’ll take Seattle down to 6.5, making this a strong value play.
COVERS INTEL: The Fever have an Offensive Rating of 113.3 in 22 games with Boston this season but an Offensive Rating of just 103 in two games without her.
Storm vs Fever same-game parlay
Seattle’s defense has been stingy all season, and it’s been even stingier across the last eight games. In that span, Seattle has surrendered just 84.6 ppg while sporting a 101.2 Defensive Rating.
Seattle’s defense can limit an Indiana team with Clark and Boston banged up. Bet down to 175.5.
Flau’jae Johnson has averaged 26.7 PRA across her last eight and hit 24+ five times. In that span, Johnson’s Usage Rate has risen from 23.8 to 24.6, and her minutes have jumped from 28.4 to 30.5. Play up to 24.5.
