Entering the 2025 WNBA season, Brenna Stewart’s New York Liberty and Caitlin Clark’s Indiana Fever had the two shortest odds to win it all. The two teams met not long ago in mid-June, and with another clash today featured on CBS, we’re here to provide you with our best Fever vs. Liberty predictions.

We also know that Indiana and New York, among many others, have the luxury of legal sports betting, so we’ve also added to the best bet from our Fever vs. Liberty picks with a guaranteed DraftKings Sportsbook bonus code offer!

Fever vs. Liberty Predictions For WNBA On CBS, 7/16

Not only did these two high-profile teams meet not long ago, but this is the first of back-to-back games against one another. Speaking of back-to-backs, while playing on consecutive nights isn’t common in the WNBA, that’s the case that Caitlin Clark and Indiana find themselves in tonight.

They were just on the court last night to take on the Connecticut Sun, and they’re squeezing this game in before heading back to Gainbridge Fieldhouse, which is the site of this year’s WNBA All-Star festivities. With that in mind, it’s no surprise to see that the Fever vs. Liberty odds have Sabrina Ionescu and New York favored.

Well, it’s also because of last night’s injury scare with Caitlin Clark…again. It’s now the third time this season that she may be forced off the court, and of course, this coming just after she committed to the 3-point contest this weekend hurts as well.

With her still needing to get evaluated before this last game heading into the All-Star break, we’ve found a different way to approach the matchup so that we can still provide you with a best bet from our Fever vs. Liberty predictions.
 

 

 

Indiana Fever: Another Caitlin Clark Injury Scare

It’s been far too often that a Caitlin Clark injury update has been needed. After missing a handful of games earlier in the year with a quad issue, more recently, it’s been her groin that’s bothered her. That appears to be what was reaggravated last night against the Sun, so much so that she was in tears on the bench.

So, how much of a factor is this in terms of the Fever upsetting the defending champs again this year? Well, without Caitlin Clark this season, Indiana is just 4-5 compared to 8-5 with the Iowa product on the court. They’re also scoring eight fewer points per game without Caitlin Clark, so already being on a back-to-back truly has the cards stacked against the Fever. 
 

 

 

New York Liberty: The Big 3 Of Ionescu, Stewart & Cloud

Unlike the Fever, the Liberty won’t be coming into this matchup on a back-to-back, but rather off back-to-back victories. The most recent of which came against the Atlanta Dream, which was a pivotal one. It’s one that ensured that Breanna Stewart and the Liberty would enter the All-Star break with the best record in the Eastern Conference.

Although it’s not the best record in the entire league - the Minnesota Lynx hold that one - New York still finds themselves as the favorites to win the WNBA Finals (+180 at DraftKings). You’ve seen us name the dynamic duo of Ionescu and Stewart already, but to make it a big three, the Liberty also has Natasha Cloud leading the team with 6.1 assists per game.
 

 

 

Fever vs. Liberty Odds, Spreads, Total & Betting Lines

With the defending champs on their home court tonight, we fully expected to see the Fever vs. Liberty odds for today at DraftKings Sportsbook listing New York as the favorites:

  • Point Spread: Indiana Fever +10 (-110) vs. New York Liberty -10 (-110)
  • Money Line: Indiana Fever (+400) vs. New York Liberty (-535)
  • Game Total (Over/Under): Over 164.5 (-110) vs. Under 164.5 (-110)
     
 

 

Fever vs. Liberty Best Bet: Sabrina Ionescu Over 19.5 Points (-115 At DraftKings Sportsbook)

The Liberty may have the best record in the Eastern Conference, but they’re the ones looking for revenge heading into the All-Star break. That’s due to the fact that the Fever upset them in their recent matchup, and in relatively convincing 102-88 fashion.

It’s not often that we find value on one of the aforementioned big three, especially with New York at home, but we’re focusing our Fever vs. Liberty predictions on Sabrina Ionescu. We expect her to get right back on track following a rare off-night from the sharpshooter, scoring just nine points against the Dream on Sunday.

Prior to that matchup, she had hit over her points prop in three straight games. Perhaps more important is how she performed against the Fever this year. Although it was a loss, Ionescu went off for a whopping 34 points, which she actually had in back-to-back games, also scoring that amount against the Dream in a different game.

We can even look back to the last game between these teams last year when Ionescu led the way with 22 points. Along with this being an opportunity for her to get hot before the WNBA 3-Point Contest, we’ve got Sabrina Ionescu over 19.5 points (-115 at DraftKings) as the best bet from our Fever vs. Liberty predictions.
