Lynx vs. Fever expert picks
WNBA picks confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale; odds via our best sports betting apps.
- Fever +2.5 (-110 via BetMGM) ⭐⭐⭐

- Napheesa Collier Under 19.5 points (-102 via FanDuel) ⭐⭐⭐
Lynx vs. Fever prediction
Fever +2.5 ⭐⭐⭐
We've been riding with the Fever for a while now since their midseason turnaround, and they've rewarded us with seven wins in eight games since the Olympic break.
Clark has been at the center of it all, averaging 24.5 points and 9.1 assists since the break after setting the WNBA single-game assists record (19) in the final game before it.
She added another notch to her belt Wednesday with her second triple-double of the year - the first rookie and one of just five players ever to do that twice in a single season.
Can Fever respond in rematch?
Clark was held to "just" 23 points and eight assists in a 90-80 loss to the Lynx on Aug. 24 - the last time her team was on the losing end of a game.
Since then, Indiana has boasted the WNBA's second-best net rating (plus-10.3), while Minnesota has ranked seventh (minus-1.3) with two wins and a blowout loss to the lowly Dallas Wings.
The Lynx have a rest advantage coming into Friday, but the Fever are at home, where they've won five straight and 10 of 11 games since June 1. Don't be surprised if Indiana pulls off the outright upset.

Best Lynx vs. Fever player props
Caitlin Clark Over 29.5 pts + ast ⭐⭐⭐
If it seems like we're giving out this prop every time the Fever play ... well, that's because we are. And our best sportsbooks aren't doing much about it.
Clark has now cashed the Over on this prop in three straight games - averaging 27.7 points and 11.3 assists to fly past this total - and 10 of her last 13 starts dating back to early July, including that loss against the Lynx on Aug. 24.
I don't love the -130 odds at FanDuel, which is the only book offering this prop as of this writing, so it might be worth waiting until closer to tip-off to shop around. But I'd still place this wager at some point regardless given her torrid run of late.
Best odds: -130 via FanDuel | Implied probability: 56.52%

Napheesa Collier Under 19.5 points ⭐⭐⭐
I'm a little surprised to see this prop dealing at such generous odds given how much Collier has struggled from the field as of late.
After an MVP-worthy start to the season, the Lynx star has scored fewer than 20 points in 11 of her last 18 games (61.1%). That includes three straight against the Mercury, Wings, and Sky - three of the worst defenses in the WNBA.
The Fever are firmly in that camp, too, but I'm not so sure Collier suddenly finds a rhythm after nearly a week off. She did score 31 when these teams last met, which is why this comes with a three-star endorsement even with such cheap odds.
Best odds: -102 via FanDuel | Implied probability: 50.50%
