Wings vs Fever Injury Report
Azzi Fudd is out for the Wings with a knee injury. Aziaha James is out with a leg injury.
Caitlin Clark is probable for the Fever despite a back issue. Kelsey Mitchell is probable despite an illness.
Wings vs Fever Prediction
The Wings haven’t been the same team since the All-Star break and have lost 7 of their last 9 games. Paige has struggled with more defensive attention and not having Fudd around to take off some of the offensive duties. It doesn’t help that Fudd was ruled out of the season, which could be a blow mentally, in hopes she was coming back in a week or so. Meanwhile, the Fever are arguably the hottest team in the league, and they’re firing on all cylinders offensively. This is a rough matchup for an understaffed Wings team. The Fever dropped 98 points on the Wings’ home court last week. I’ll lay the reasonable number with Indiana on the road.
