The Storm will be without Ezi Magbegor, Taina Mair, Dominique Malonga, Katie Lou Samuelson, and Taylor Thierry.
Fever vs Storm Prediction
The Fever should be big favorites at home simply because they’re the better team and the Storm are the most banged-up team in the league. There’s only so much the Storm can overcome. They’re down five players. With that said, I’m not laying double-digit odds with a Fever team that doesn’t play defense. We’re also seeing Boston on the injury report. If forced to get involved in this matchup, I’m leaning toward the over. The over is a combined 4-2 in these teams’ games so far and the Fever haven’t shown any sort of life in getting stops. If Boston is out, that’s even less resistance at the rim. I’ll bank on there being points. Give me the over.
