The Indiana Fever (1-0) are riding high after a dominant season opener and now face the Atlanta Dream (0-1) in their home debut on Tuesday night. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. ET at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, and the game will air on NBA TV, Peachtree TV, and MeTV Indianapolis.
All eyes remain on Caitlin Clark, who made WNBA history with a triple-double in her debut (20 points, 10 assists, 10 rebounds). Now she leads a Fever team favored by 9 points against a Dream squad still searching for an identity after offseason changes.
The Dream will try to bounce back behind Rhyne Howard and Brittney Griner, but they’re up against a Fever team loaded with firepower — including Aliyah Boston, Kelsey Mitchell, and veteran additions DeWanna Bonner and Natasha Howard.
Oddsmakers have set the total at 170.5, and early money is hitting the under, based on last season’s scoring trends. With star power, historical implications, and sharp value on the board, this is one of the must-bet games of the week.

⭐ Best Bets
✅ Spread Pick: Dream +9
Atlanta may not win this outright, but history says they hang around. They were 6-3 ATS last year as underdogs of 9+ points, while the Fever failed to cover in both instances as big favorites. Fade the hype.
✅ Total Pick: Under 170.5
While both teams have scoring talent, historical trends favor a lower total. They averaged just 162 total points last season, and both teams showed some defensive chops in their openers.
✅ Moneyline Pick: Fever -446
Not a ton of value here, but the Fever are the better team — and they’re at home with the best player on the floor. Clark + Boston = business as usual.
🔥 Featured Prop Bets
🧨 Caitlin Clark 40+ Points + Rebounds + Assists (+115)
Clark had 20/10/10 in just 32 minutes in her debut. The books haven’t caught up to her ceiling. With a closer game and full usage, she could flirt with 45+.
🧱 Brittney Griner Over 1.5 Blocks (+110)
Griner remains an elite rim protector and could feast in the paint against a Fever team that takes risks off the dribble.
💥 Same Game Parlay (SGP) – +575 Odds
- Caitlin Clark Over 20.5 Points
- Brittney Griner Over 7.5 Rebounds
- Rhyne Howard Over 15.5 Points
- Under 170.5 Total Points
🔢 Estimated Payout: +575
🔎 Logic: Balanced scoring, elite rebounding, star usage, and a slower pace make this a high-value 4-leg combo.
🏁 Final Fever vs. Dream Prediction
The Caitlin Clark show continues. Expect a tighter battle than the spread suggests, with key performances from both backcourts and a total that narrowly lands under. The Fever take the W — but don’t be shocked if the Dream cover late.
Final Score Prediction: Fever 84, Dream 76
Best Bet: Under 170.5
