The Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky face off for the fourth and final time this season when they meet Friday at 7:30 p.m. ET (ION) at Wintrust Arena, as we offer our best Fever vs. Sky prediction and expert picks.

Indiana is favored by 4.5 points to beat the Sky in a matchup between WNBA championship odds long shots. Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese are still embroiled in a tense WNBA Rookie of the Year race that could see its final chapter written Friday.

Fever -4.5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

It's uncommon to see our best sportsbooks offering such a wide range of numbers for a game, but we're seeing some major value in the market for this one.

At every other major shop, Indiana is dealing between -5 and -5.5 after beating the Connecticut Sun as a home underdog on Wednesday. That marked the Fever's fourth win in five games since the Olympic break - with those victories coming by an average of 8.8 points.

Meanwhile, Betway is offering this market-best price of -4.5 against a Sky team that has struggled to find any sort of rhythm since the break. And I'd be surprised if that changes on Friday.

Clark vs. Reese for final time

When these teams last met on June 23, Reese dropped 25 points and 16 rebounds in a thrilling 1-point win for the Sky.

These teams' paths have diverged since then. Indiana has won eight of 13 games since that loss behind a resurgent Clark, who is averaging 20.1 points and 10.4 assists over her last 14 starts.

That's helped her pull away in the Rookie of the Year race against Reese, who has been a beast on the boards but is struggling to make an offensive impact otherwise.

Her poor shooting is one reason why Chicago has found itself on the losing end of four straight games. Three of them have been close - as were the previous meetings between these teams - but I have more confidence in the Fever with the way they're playing as of late.
