Courtney Williams is listed as day to day, but she played 22 minutes last night against the Aces. Temi Fagbenle is probable for the Fever despite a thumb issue. Fagbenle is expected to play for the first time since July 2.
Minnesota Lynx vs Indiana Fever Prediction
The Minnesota Lynx could easily blow out the Fever at home, but I do like the Fever and the points. The Fever beat the Lynx last month in the only meeting this season despite being 4.5 point underdogs. The Fever haven’t played in a week, while the Lynx played last night. The Fever are also getting back Fagbenle from injury. Oh, the Lynx are coming off a big emotional win over the Aces, creating a potential letdown spot. The Fever aren’t the same team on the road as at home, but there’s still enough here that make the points worth a shot.
