The Indiana Fever have clinched a spot in the playoffs, and will be facing a Chicago Sky team that is their equal in terms of record at 15-17. Indiana has some momentum going as they have won consecutive games for the first time since July 10th, and would like to be playing their best basketball of the season heading into the wide open playoffs in the Eastern Conference. Chicago has dealt with the injury bug all season, with four key players missing 53 total games. It has been hard for them to build continuity on the court. While they have gotten mostly healthy, the team chemistry just isn't there at this late stage of the season. The Fever's 166 points in their last two games is the most points in consecutive games they have scored since late June, some 18 games ago, and seem to have the hot hand on the offensive end right now. With more available options, Chicago has scored 72 or more points in six of their last seven games for the first time since early in the season. Both of these teams seem to be getting more production from the offensive end, and the Fever have been at their best on a day of rest at 23-7 ATS in their last 30, and they are also 7-1 ATS overall in their last eight. The Sky are just 7-21 ATS in their last 28 vs. the Fever. Offense is in the spotlight, and the Sky have just never matched-up well vs. this team. Take Indiana and the OVER.
