Fever vs Wings expert predictions, picks for Aug. 1
Chloe Peterson, IndyStar: Fever 85-72
“Indiana has found a rhythm over the past week, recording three straight wins over the past week. That included winning season series over both Las Vegas and Chicago and setting the tone against Phoenix, the No. 3 team in the league, in their first meeting on Wednesday.
“Indiana has gotten some consistency, even with Caitlin Clark out, and that has been key for the Fever as they go into this four-game road trip.
“Dallas is 8-20 this season and hasn’t really found a rhythm because of multiple injuries and inconsistent play. Paige Bueckers, the 2025 No. 1 pick, has been the glue of the team, but they haven’t been able to find much play around her.
“This should be a winnable game for the Fever, who should start out this road trip on a high note in Dallas.”
