Indiana Fever vs Golden State Valkyries preview
The Fever’s season stuttered a bit in the absence of Caitlin Clark but they have found their groove since her return against the New York Liberty on Saturday. Indiana took down the then-undefeated New York 102-88 behind Clark’s near triple-double of 32 points, nine assists and eight rebounds.
She followed it up with a 20-point outing in a 88-71 win against the Connecticut Sun on Tuesday.
Indiana is on a two-game win streak and is favored to get an easy win against the Valkyries. However, the Bay Area team has proved that it is no pushover. While it is coming off of a 80-71 loss to the Dallas Wings on Tuesday, it was on a three-game win streak before the loss.
Monique Billings led the Valkyries with 18 points and eight rebounds on Tuesday, while Kayla Thornton had 17 points.
Indiana Fever vs Golden State Valkyries betting tips
Caitlin Clark’s points total for the game is set at 20.5, which is under her season average of 21.3 points per game. Bet on the over.

Indiana Fever vs Golden State Valkyries prediction
The oddsmakers favor the Fever to get a lopsided win despite being on the road. It’s no surprise as Caitlin Clark has the capability to have that kind of impact in a game. We expect Indiana to cover the spread for a win in a high-scoring game where the team total surpasses the 163.5-point mark.
