Fever vs Sparks WNBA Prediction & Picks (5/24/24)

After picking up 65 wins over her final two collegiate seasons at Iowa, Caitlin Clark remains in search of her first win in the professional ranks. Will it finally come tonight when she and the Indiana Fever visit the Los Angeles Sparks (10:00 pm ET, ION)?

With the Sparks (1-2) defeating the Washington Mystics on Tuesday, the Fever (0-5) and Mystics (0-5) are the WNBA’s lone remaining winless teams.

Washington, who lost 83-80 at Phoenix on Thursday night, will get another crack at getting in the win column when they visit the Seattle Storm tomorrow (9:00 pm ET, MSN).

By that time, they could be the last team without a victory. While the first win has yet to come for the Fever, they came close in each of their last two games, and tonight’s contest in Los Angeles is a very winnable game.

Indiana Fever vs Los Angeles Sparks Betting Analysis

Moral victories don’t count for much in the standings, but there is something to be said for the progress that appears to be happening for Indiana.

After losing by 21 at Connecticut to open the season and by 36 at home against the New York Liberty in their second game, the Fever were down by 20 at halftime at New York in their third game.

Since that point, they have started moving in the right direction. They still lost at Barclays Center last Saturday but only by 11. In Monday’s home matchup with the Sun, they led by four in the fourth quarter before Connecticut came back for an 88-84 win. Then last night at Seattle, they pushed the Storm all the way and had two chances to win the game at the end in an 85-83 loss.

A win should be around the corner, but will it happen tonight?

The Sparks aren’t a particularly good team at this juncture either, and after having to face the Sun, Liberty, and Storm, three of the more talented teams in the WNBA, in their first five games, this is the most favorable game that the Fever have had to date.

However, that doesn’t mean that Los Angeles will be ripe for the picking. They played rather well in a road loss to the Las Vegas Aces last Saturday, and they toughed out an ugly win over the Mystics on Tuesday.

That is something that the Fever have not quite figured out how to do just yet, and it’s more likely that their first win will come when these two teams meet in Indianapolis next Tuesday (7:00 pm ET, NBA TV) than tonight.
