Fever vs. Fire Prediction, Spread, Over/Under – Friday, July 31

The Indiana Fever entered the All-Star Break with wins in seven of nine games and continued their hot streak with a 10-point win in Seattle out of the break on Tuesday. Indiana has now won four straight contests and is tied for fourth place in the league standings. 

Offense has been the driver as the Fever have averaged 111.5 points per game during the current four-game winning streak and lead the WNBA in scoring (95.8 PPG). The two-headed guard threat of Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell has combined to lead the team in scoring in the past 16 games. 

This is the second contest of a three-game road trip for the Fever, who began in Seattle on Tuesday and finish in Minnesota on Sunday. 

The Fire got off to a solid 5-3 start in their inaugural campaign but have lost 14 of the past 20 contests, including the last three games.

After playing five of the past six away from Portland, tonight is the first of a season-high five-game homestand for the Fire. Portland has struggled away from home with a 5-10 road record, but the Fire are 6-7 at home. That includes a 16-point win over Indiana back on May 30. 

Friday marks the third and final scheduled meeting between the teams this season, with each squad winning at home in the first month of the season.
