The Seattle Storm rides a three-game road winning streak into tonight’s clash with an Indiana Fever squad that has lost four of its last five.

With Caitlin Clark sidelined, my Storm vs. Fever predictions expect Seattle to exploit Indiana’s defensive struggles and win comfortably.

Read on as I share my WNBA picks for Tuesday, August 26.

Storm vs Fever predictions

My Storm vs Fever best betSeattle Storm -3.5 (-110 at DraftKings)

The Indiana Fever enter tonight’s contest short-handed without several key perimeter defenders, as well as Caitlin Clark, and it’s tough to see them keeping pace with a healthy Seattle Storm squad trying to stay in front of Indiana for playoff positioning.

Seattle has taken four of its last five outright and now meets an Indiana team that has failed to cover in five consecutive games and is struggling to defend from anywhere.

The Storm’s veterans provide the leadership and scoring punch, but the real difference lies in their bench production.

Dominique Malonga is an athletic rookie who brings the energy while getting buckets, rebounds, and blocked shots.

Erica Wheeler provides veteran leadership and scoring punch, knocks down timely threes, and pushes the pace, which should exploit Indiana’s thin backcourt rotation.

With the Fever allowing a bloated 113.5 NET rating across their last five contests, Seattle’s depth and defensive intensity should be enough to cover the number comfortably.

Over 167.5

I’m backing Seattle to cover in a fast-paced, high-scoring matchup against an Indiana team that’s allowed 90+ in three straight and hit the Over in four of its previous five.

Gabby Williams has cleared 17.5 points + rebounds + assists in six of 10 and should be in line for another big night against the reed-thin Fever.
