The Storm just beat their rival the Sun at home and held the Sun to 61 points in that game with their elite defense. The Fever will be no match for them in this spot as the Fever still play terrible defense, despite improving on offense. The Fevers wins consist of teams that are in the mid to bottom half of the league and they have yet to beat a team that is better than them, a team that is over .500. The Fever are 0-4 against the spread in their last 4 games versus a team with a winning straight up record. The Storm are also going to prevent Clarke from getting her usual points in a game and the team in general will struggle to put up points against this elite defensive Seattle team. The Storm will also be able to run up the score on the Fever as Indiana won’t get the stops. The Fever have also had the easier schedule this season and are on their second road game. Indiana was able to string up a few wins before they let slip a 15 point lead to the Sky the other night. They fumbled that game badly and went on to lose it. The Storm will lock down on the Fever and this game will be an easy win for Seattle, they just have the better talent and the deeper team. The Fever like to shoot threes as that is how they get their points, but that plays into one of the better skills the Storm do so well, and that is to defend the perimeter and corner three point shooting. The Fever are 2-5-1 against the spread in the last 8 meetings. The Storm are 5-1 against the spread in their last 6 games versus a team with a losing straight up record. The Fever are 2-0 against the spread this season as a road underdog of 6.5 to 12 points. This game could get ugly for Indiana and that is why the value lies in laying the points with Seattle.

Best bet: lay the points with Seattle.
