Dream vs Fever Injury Report

Te-Hina Paopao is questionable for the Dream with a leg injury. Brionna Jones is out with a leg injury. Jordin Canada is questionable with an illness.

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

Dream vs Fever Prediction

The Dream are getting love because they’re at home where they’re 12-5 SU this season, and they’ve won the last 2 games against the Fever. However, the Fever are one of the hotter teams in the league right now thanks to an offense that’s burning down the nets. Caitlin Clark is also coming off possibly her best game of the season, where she was setting up her teammates left and right and controlling the pace. Also, the Dream will be down Jones and possibly Canada as well. I can’t turn down the free bucket with the Fever in their current form.
