- Dallas Wings to win

Wings To Record Important Win On The Road
This is a third game in five days for the Dallas Wings, which could suggest fatigue will be an issue.
Indiana is facing the same scheduling challenge, however, after playing the Mystics and Lynx on the road during the week. This affects our Fever vs Wings predictions.
Indiana has an exceptional record against the spread this season, despite a poor record straight up. They are keeping games closer than the bookies are projecting, while it has been an up-and-down season for Dallas to date. It shows you shouldn’t always back the favourite.
The Wings, however, can take confidence from a net rating which ranks above average. Their defence has been elite over the last couple of weeks, while the offence should enjoy success against a poor Fever defence. We start our Fever vs Wings tips by picking the Texas side to triumph.
Bet 1: Dallas Wings to win
High-Pace Wings Rack Up A Big Total
Indiana has the second worst defensive rating in the Association on the season and there have been no signs of that improving recently. Dallas is an efficient offence, partly due to their ability to generate extra possessions with offensive rebounds.
Arike Ogunbowale leads the team in scoring at over 21 per game. The Wings love to play at pace (only one team plays faster), and they have scored over 81 points in 10 of their 17 games thus far.
Even on their losing streak, the Fever have gone over this total more often than not. They are scoring points and not getting many stops. I’d suggest looking at the Fever vs Wings odds and backing the over here.
Bet 2: Over 166.5 points
Dallas To Get Off To A Strong Start
On their way to another win, we are also backing the Dallas Wings to hold an advantage at the end of the first quarter. At the time of writing, Dallas has a +16.5 net rating over the last five games, while the Fever sit at -17.1.
The Wings have led at the end of the first period in four of their last six. Indiana, in contrast, has lost the first quarter in their last three outings.
The four Fever players with the most minutes this season all own negative net ratings, which shows just how they have struggled against other starting line ups. This is a key statistic when deciding WNBA tips and affects things here.
Bet 3: Dallas Wings to win the first quarter
