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.
