Atlanta Dream vs Indiana Fever preview

The Fever have been one of the league's hottest teams, winning seven of their last 10 games, though they fell 99-88 to the Minnesota Lynx on Friday. Despite the loss, the Fever’s core trio—Caitlin Clark (25 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists), Kelsey Mitchell (23 points) and Aliyah Boston (20 points, 5 rebounds)—delivered strong performances.

The Fever have won eight of their last 10 games since the Olympic break, led by Clark, who averaged 24.6 points, 9.0 assists and 5.9 rebounds in that span.

However, the Dream won’t be an easy challenge. They are coming off a win over the Wings, where Rhyne Howard scored 33 points, and starters Tina Charles, Allisha Gray, Naz Hillmon and Jordin Canada all contributed double-digit points.

The Dream had lost four straight games before winning two of their last three. With the regular season nearing its end, they’re looking to build momentum for a playoff push, starting with Sunday's Atlanta Dream vs Indiana Fever clash.

Atlanta Dream vs Indiana Fever prediction

Despite their recent loss, the Fever are favored to come out on top against the Dream. Their high-tempo offense could overwhelm the Dream, much like in their previous three meetings, where the Fever won by an average of eight points.

While the Dream are expected to be competitive, they may not have enough to overcome the Fever, who are proving to be serious playoff contenders with their recent form.
