The Dallas Wings and Indiana Fever meet Saturday in WNBA action at the IMG Academy.
The Dallas Wings need a win after losing six of their last eight games. The Dallas Wings are averaging 81.9 points on 41.5 percent shooting and allowing 85.4 points on 46.1 percent shooting. Arike Ogunbowale is averaging 21.5 points and 3.5 assists while Satou Sabally is averaging 12.3 points and 7.5 rebounds. Allisha Gray is the third double-digit scorer and Marina Mabrey is dishing 1.5 assists. The Dallas Wings are shooting 33.3 percent from beyond the arc and 79.8 percent from the free throw line. The Dallas Wings are allowing 36.9 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 33.3 rebounds per game.
The Indiana Fever need a win after losing four of their last five games. The Indiana Fever are averaging 81.2 points on 44.6 percent shooting and allowing 87.1 points on 46.6 percent shooting. Kelsey Mitchell is averaging 18.5 points and 2.7 assists while Tiffany Mitchell is averaging 14.1 points and 3.9 rebounds. Candice Dupree is the third double-digit scorer and Teaira McCowan is grabbing 7.3 rebounds. The Indiana Fever are shooting 35 percent from beyond the arc and 82 percent from the free throw line. The Indiana Fever are allowing 36.7 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 33.9 rebounds per game.
Will update with trends once they’re released.
The Dallas Wings won the first meeting against the Fever back in late July, but they’re a different team than they were back then and the injuries are starting to pile up. The Indiana Fever have had trouble finishing games lately, but they did beat the Seattle Storm last week as massive underdogs and have been on the wrong side of some competitive losses. The Indiana Fever are the better team here no matter how you slice it, and they have a clear edge on the offensive end of the court. The Dallas Wings have serious issues scoring the basketball, and they’re 11th in field goal percentage and 10th in three point percentage.
I’m leaning toward the Fever in this contest and will lay whatever the line is.
