Heading into the WNBA All-Star break, we saw the Indiana Fever and New York Liberty go head-to-head as one of the very last games. As we come out of the break, we’re going to see the very same matchup as one of the first games back, which means that we’re here to share our best Fever vs. Liberty predictions for tonight.

Even if the Caitlin Clark injury has you feeling skeptical, we’ll make your Fever vs. Liberty picks as valuable as possible with a guaranteed DraftKings Sportsbook promo code bonus!

Fever vs. Liberty Predictions For WNBA On CBS, 7/22

As mentioned, this exact matchup is one that we very recently saw. It was directly following the most recent Caitlin Clark injury - which we’ll discuss further coming up - and it’s clear that oddsmakers expect her to remain out.

Compared to the Fever vs. Liberty odds from just prior to the All-Star break, they have shifted only one point in terms of both the spread and total. In other words, it’s expected that New York should be able to cruise to another convincing victory. After all, even without the Caitlin Clark injury, the Liberty are still the favorites to win the WNBA Finals (+180 at DraftKings).

Of course, we’re still locked into tonight’s game, and it’s quite beneficial that we have such a recent meeting to look back on. We expect plenty of points like we saw last week, but we have an even more specific approach for the best bet from our Fever vs. Liberty predictions. 
 

 

 

Indiana Fever: Caitlin Clark Injury Update

As pivotal as matchups between the Fever and Liberty are, the Caitlin Clark news makes it even more intriguing. This is now the third different time this season that she’s been forced to miss games due to injury, and as we also saw over the weekend, she was unable to participate in both the 3-Point Contest and WNBA All-Star Game.

The more banged up she gets, the more we should expect to see the team be more cautious with her. It’s a reaggravated groin injury this time around, and after losing to the Liberty last week, Indiana fell to 4-6 when Caitlin Clark is off the court. Even still, they have the fourth-shortest odds (+700 at DraftKings) to win the WNBA Finals.
 

 

 

New York Liberty: Sweeping The Skills Competition

On the opposite end of the spectrum from Caitlin Clark’s disappointed All-Star Weekend, it was all sunshine and roses for the Liberty. Specifically, thanks to their duo of Sabrina Ionescu and Natasha Cloud on Friday night. That was prior to the actual All-Star Game, where we saw the Kia Skills Competition and 3-Point Contest.

The hype was for Ionescu vs. Clark in the latter, but with Clark out of the field, it was the favorite Sabrina winning it. Alongside that was Cloud taking the Kia Skills Competition to complete the iconic photo of the duo holding their trophies. They didn’t complete the trifecta with an All-Star Game MVP, but they’d still rather win back-to-back WNBA titles instead.

Fever vs. Liberty Best Bet: Sophie Cunningham Over 7.5 Points (-125 At DraftKings Sportsbook)

There’s no denying that the Fever are all about Caitlin Clark, if not the entire WNBA. That said, we’ve seen an absolutely meteoric rise in popularity when it comes to teammate Sophie Cunningham.

After her jersey sold out thanks to her retaliation foul defending Caitlin Clark against the Connecticut Sun earlier in the season, she’s becoming close to a household name at this point. Perhaps one thing that’s holding her back from truly being one is that she doesn’t even generally start games!

That's right - our Fever vs. Liberty predictions are focused on a player that hasn’t even been starting games! This year, Sophie Cunningham has played in 18 games, yet started just once! So, when did that start come? You guessed it - against the Liberty last week.

This is also where it takes a deeper dive into the numbers instead of just taking them at face value. Sure, we’ve seen Lexie Hull starting instead of her, but if we look at both the minutes and production, it’s all about Cunningham. In the last four games, we’ve seen Hull record just 15-19 minutes, whereas Cunningham has been on the court for 22-30 minutes.

More importantly for Fever vs. Liberty picks, in that span, Sophie Cunningham has scored 11+ points in each one. Conversely, Lexie Hull hasn’t scored more than seven points in 11 games! Therefore, even if you see Hull swapped back into the starting lineup tonight, there’s no need to be worried.

With all of that in consideration, we have Sophie Cunningham over 7.5 points (-125 at DraftKings) as the best bet from our Fever vs. Liberty predictions.
