The struggling Indiana Fever meet the surging Seattle Storm on Tuesday night in a battle of WNBA teams fighting for playoff positioning. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. ET from Gainbridge Fieldhouse and the game will be televised on CBS Sports Network.
The Fever (19-18) have lost six of their last eight amid a string of injuries, which are starting to take their toll. The club has notably been missing the services of star Caitlin Clark, who is battling a groin injury, since July 15. Indiana’s injury woes now include versatile guard Sophie Cunningahm, who is out for the season because of an MCL tear. Cunningham was averaging 8.6 points and 3.5 rebounds per game. Indiana currently holds a loose grasp on the No. 8 and final playoff seed, with the Los Angeles Sparks (17-18) closely behind. The Fever are coming off back-to-back losses against the Minnesota Lynx, including a 97-84 setback Sunday night.
Conversely, the Storm (20-18) have done an about-face with three consecutive victories following their own dismal stretch in which they lost six of seven to nearly drop from playoff contention. They enter Tuesday with the No. 6 playoff seed but have dropped both matchups against the Fever this season. Nneka Ogwumike hit a 15-foot jumper at the buzzer to give the Storm an 84-82 victory over the Washington Mystics on Sunday. She finished with a team-high 30 points on the strength of a 6-for-7 performance from deep.
Seattle is a 3-point betting favorite and the Over/Under for total points scored is 166 in the latest WNBA odds for Fever vs. Storm.
In addition to the two-game WNBA card, the sporting landscape Tuesday also features a full MLB slate, and we’ll look ahead to a key college football showdown ahead of a Week 1 full of exciting matchups.
