Fire vs Fever Injury Report
Sania Feagin is out for the Fire with a knee injury. Sarah Ashlee Barker is out with a knee injury.
Caitlin Clark is probable for the Fever despite a back issue. Damiris Dantas is not with the team. Aliyah Boston is probable despite a leg injury. Monique Billings is probable despite a hip issue.
Fire vs Fever Prediction
The Fire are banged up and struggling defensively, two things you don’t want when going up against possibly the best offense in the league in the Fever. The Fever have topped 100 points in 4 straight games and have covered 3 straight contests. These are two teams heading in different directions, and it’s hard to think the Fire can score enough to hang around. The Fever have been spotty on the road this season, but this is a game where they should roll comfortably. I’ll lay the points with the Fever.
