Tempo vs Fever Injury Report

Brittney Sykes is probable for the Tempo despite a foot injury. Maria Conde is out with a calf injury. Julie Allemand is out with a thigh injury. Nyara Sabally is out with a calf injury.

Caitlin Clark is probable for the Fever despite a back issue. Aliyah Boston is probable despite a leg issue.

Tempo vs Fever Prediction

The Fever are rolling right now, and their offense has the ability to punish the Tempo. However, this is a lot of points for a Fever team that’s been in a lot of big games recently, which includes an overtime contest on Sunday against the Dream. Not saying the Fever will lose, but this could be a bit of a letdown spot that allows Toronto to hang around. Also, the Tempo will have Sykes back for this one, which is massive considering she was the best player for this team before the injury. Mabrey finally will have scoring help. I’ll take a stab with the points.
