Prediction and Conclusion
The Indiana Fever had a tough start to the season but have picked up their pace lately and are getting closer to 500. The Fever won the last two games and are looking to continue the winning streak when they visit the worst team in the league. The Wings have only one win in the month of July but have won six of the last seven games against the Fever, including three of the last four in Dallas. Two of those games went to overtime, so we expect another tight game, and therefore we go with the Wings covering the +4.5-point spread.
