The Chicago Sky (4-8) and Indiana Fever (4-10) meet Sunday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Tip-off is scheduled for noon ET (Prime Video). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’slines around the Sky vs. Fever odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Fever lead 1-0

The Sky have dropped a season-high 3 straight games, and 2 of those losses were at home. A lack of defense has been the issue, as Chicago has given up at least 83 points in each of the games, for 85.0 points per game (PPG). It’s no surprise the Over is on a 3-0 run during the stretch.

The Chicago offense has done its part, going for at least 75 points in 5 straight outings. Rookie Angel Reese had 10 points and a career-high 14 rebounds in an 83-81 loss at the Washington Mystics last time out on Friday. She has 10 or more rebounds in 6 straight games, while posting 5 straight double-doubles.

The Fever picked up the pace in the Commissioner’s Cup, going 3-2 in the 5 games from June 1-13. They kicked off the solid run with a 71-70 win over the Sky in Indianapolis on June 1, winning as a 1.5-point underdog as the Under (168) cashed.

Rookie Caitlin Clark managed to score 11 points with 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 5 turnovers with a pair of 3-pointers in the 1st head-to-head matchup with her college nemesis Reese. That was also the same game as the Chennedy Carter controversy, when she intentionally hip-checked Clark. Anyway, get your popcorn!

Sky at Fever picks and predictions

Prediction

Fever 85, Sky 81

Moneyline

INDIANA (-130) has picked up the pace after a super slow start. After a disastrous game at Connecticut, when coach Christie Sides benched her starters for most of the 2nd half, the team responded well against the Atlanta Dream at home last time out on Thursday.

When the Fever stop playing hero ball, and work together, this is a team with some potential. Clark cannot do it all on her own, but she tries sometimes, but doesn’t have to. There are players more than capable, and lately it has showed.

Aliyah Boston went off for 27 points and 13 rebounds on 12-of-21 shooting against the Mystics, while Kelsey Mitchell was good for 24 points, including 3 triples, in the win. If the team can get secondary and tertiary scoring, not only can Indiana top Chicago, but it could make some noise in the East.

Against the spread

INDIANA -2 (-110) is a better value laying the little bit of points. Yes, last time these teams played, Clark and the Fever won by just a single point. But Chicago +2 (-110) has had some trouble defensively, and Indiana is playing with a little extra lately. Look for the Fever to grab the cover.

Over/Under

OVER 165.5 (-110) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most. Conviction is not terribly high, as these teams combined for just 141 points in the first meeting.

However, the lean is high based on Chicago’s lack of defense lately. Indiana has hit the Over in 4 in a row, and 7 of the past 8. In fact, the only Under during that 8-game span was against the Sky.
