Wings vs. Fever Prediction, Spread, Over/Under – Saturday, May 9
The Fever were one of the top WNBA Finals contenders entering the 2025 season. Indiana won the Commissioner’s Cup over the Minnesota Lynx in July and reached the WNBA semifinals before being eliminated by the eventual champion Las Vegas Aces.
Throughout the 2025 season, Caitlin Clark battled multiple injuries and was limited to just 13 games. Clark dealt with quadriceps and groin injuries before ultimately being ruled out for the remainder of the season in early September, before the team’s postseason run.
Now, Clark will look to return to elite form, as she is fully healthy for the 2026 season.
Meanwhile, Wings G Paige Bueckers compiled an impressive rookie campaign in 2025. After being selected with the top pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft, Bueckers put together averages of 19.2 points, 5.4 assists, 3.9 rebounds, and 1.6 steals per game, while shooting 47.7% from the field.
Despite Bueckers’ sensational rookie season, the Wings went just 10-34 and finished in last place in the WNBA standings.
For the second consecutive season, the Wings had the No. 1 pick and selected former UConn star Azzi Fudd to pair with Bueckers. Fudd was an explosive scorer and a talented perimeter threat during her time with the Huskies, so she could provide a huge boost to Dallas on the offensive end early in her professional career.
