Storm vs Fever Picks and Prediction – 8/18/2024

In a key WNBA showdown, the Seattle Storm head to Indiana to face the Fever in a game featuring two teams eager to build momentum as the season progresses. While both teams have faced their fair share of challenges this season, this matchup offers a chance for one to grab a valuable win. Get in on all the action with our free WNBA picks.

The Seattle Storm (17-9) have performed above expectations, and continue to show flashes of their potential. Jewell Loyd has been the clear standout for Seattle, leading the team in scoring and single-handedly keeping her team competitive in many games. Her ability to score from deep, attack the rim, and create shots for herself and others makes her one of the most dangerous offensive weapons in the league. While the Storm have faced issues with depth and defensive consistency, their reliance on Loyd and veteran leadership gives them a fighting chance every night.

On the other side, the Indiana Fever (12-15) are a team in transition, but have some great talent. The duo of Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston has been pivotal for Indiana this season. Boston has lived up to expectations, dominating in the paint with her scoring and rebounding prowess. Meanwhile, Clark's sharpshooting and ability to create off the dribble have been crucial for the Fever’s offense. However, Indiana’s defense has been porous, allowing opponents too many easy buckets, something they’ll need to tighten up if they hope to get a win against Seattle.

The lines set for Storm games continue to disrespect the Storm. This team has shown many times this season that they can compete with the best in the league, and light up the scoreboard each night. Seattle is just a level above Indiana right now, and we like them to win on the road. Prediction: Storm win 88-81.
