Get in on the action with our free WNBA picks.

The Dallas Wings (9-22) have been solid this season, although their record does not show it, thanks in large part to the dynamic duo of Arike Ogunbowale and Satou Sabally. Ogunbowale, one of the league's premier scorers, is averaging 22.2 points per game and has been the driving force behind Dallas’ offense. Sabally, a versatile forward, complements her with 20.2 points and 6.4 rebounds per game, showcasing her ability to impact the game on both ends of the floor. The Wings' defense has also been a strong point, as they rank among the top teams in the league in opponent field goal percentage. With home-court advantage, the Wings will be looking to assert their dominance early and keep the Fever on their heels.

The Indiana Fever (16-16), on the other hand, are looking to sneak into the playoffs and make a run. Kelsey Mitchell has been a standout for Indiana, leading the team with 18.3 points per game. Her ability to create shots and score in bunches will be crucial if the Fever are to pull off an upset. Additionally, Caitlin Clark has been outstanding as a rookie, averaging 18 points per game.

As we head down the stretch of the WNBA season, the Fever are finding their identity, and their young players are gaining valuable experience. The Fever have good shooters, skilled forwards, and a system in place to win. The fall off in talent from Dallas' top 2 players is steep, and we like Indiana. Prediction: Fever win 82-75.
