Injuries:

Fever: Jessica Breeland and Chelsey Perry are out for the season. Danielle Robinson was downgraded to out because of an ankle injury. Plus, Tiffany Mitchell is listed as questionable due to a knee injury and Kysre Gondrezick is out indefinitely.

Dream: Odyssey Sims was upgraded to probable today. Not to mention, Cheyenne Parker and Crystal Bradford are out for the season. Tianna Hawkins was downgraded to doubtful due to a foot injury, and Chennedy Carter is still serving her suspension.

Indiana is 6-8 against the spread away and 2-12 overall on the road this season. The Fever are also 9-4 ATS in their previous 13 games, 1-5 in their previous six games played and 5-2 ATS in their last seven games on the road. For another notable betting trend, Indiana is 2-18 straight up in their past 20 road games. As for the Dream, they are 1-13 straight up in their last 14 games, 4-1 ATS in the team’s past five games and the total has gone under in five of their last five home games.

Additionally, Atlanta is 0-5 in their past five games played at home. Though, pick the Dream to win and expect the total to go under 156. Betting the under is the most logical. Both teams struggle offensively. The Dream scored 74 points versus the Mystics, 75 points against the Mercury and 69 points versus the Wings. The Fever scored just 65 points versus Phoenix on the first Saturday of the month, too.
