    The Seattle Storm (17-9) and Indiana Fever (12-15) meet at Gainbridge Fieldhouse Sunday. Tip-off is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET (ABC). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Storm vs. Fever odds , and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions .

    Season series: Storm lead 3-0

    The Storm suffered an 83-81 loss in Atlanta as a 7-point favorite as play resumed after the Olympic break. Seattle is just 4-3 straight-up (SU) in the past 7 outings, while failing to cover the past 3 contests.

    The Over has cashed in 2 in a row, and 3 straight on the road, while the Storm has allowed 83 or more points in 6 consecutive games away from home.

    The Fever resumed play after the break with a 98-89 victory against the Phoenix Mercury on Friday as a 3-point favorite as the Over (174.5) cashed. Indiana is 3-1 SU and against the spread (ATS) across the past 4 outings, while the Over has hit in 4 of the previous 5 outings.

    These teams have met 3 times this season, with Seattle winning each of the meetings. Seattle is averaging 92.3 points per game (PPG), while the Over is 2-1 in 3 contests.

    Caitlin Clark is averaging 18.7 points, 7.7 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 1.3 blocked shots per game in the 3 meetings with Seattle this season, and she has hit 8 total 3-pointers against the Storm.

    Storm at Fever picks and predictions

    Prediction

    Storm 91, Fever 84

    Moneyline

    If you’re a little bit more conservative, and you don’t feel like fiddling around with the points, SEATTLE (-164) is a strong play straight up. It is slightly cheaper than my personal limit of -180 for a standalone wager.

    While Indiana (+134) has played much better after a dismal start, it hasn’t found the combination to solve the Storm in 3 previous meetings.

    Against the spread

    Playing the STORM -3.5 (-108) is worth a look. Over the years, with or without CC22, the Fever +3.5 (-112) has struggled with Seattle. Indiana is just 2-8 SU in the past 10 meetings, while the Storm is an impressive 6-2-1 ATS in the past 9 meetings since July 1, 2022.

    This takes a little bit of a leap of faith, as the Storm has failed to cover in the past 3 games, and they lost in Atlanta. But, again, Seattle has not had issues with Indiana in the 3 previous meetings.

    Over/Under

    OVER 168.5 ( -110 ) is worth a look. The total has gone high in 2 of 3 meetings this season.

    The Storm has racked up 81 or more points on offense in 4 straight games, and 9 of the previous 10 outings.

    For the Fever, the Over has connected in 4 of 5 outings, while going for 93 or more points in 3 of the previous 4 contests. However, Indiana’s defense has been horrific lately, coughing up 86 or more points in 4 of the past 5 outings. Go high, and feel confidently in doing so.
