My Prediction
Indiana Fever by 11We're looking at a ferocious competition between the Indiana Fever and the Golden State Valkyries. Some things stick out us like a sore thumb, and we're not talking about the finger fouls.
Let's be real, Indiana has been singing quite the siren's song this season. A major contributor to their melody? Caitlin Clark. With an average of 21.3 points per game this season, she's been shooting hoops better than a bored teenager at the carnival. Aliyah Boston isn't too shabby either, averaging 13.5 points and a respectable 7.7 rebounds per game. Don't be fooled by Kelsey Mitchell either –– her 17.2 points per game have the potential to be, as the kids say, a real game-changer.
Oh, but don't look away now, the Valkyries aren't going down without a fight. Lay your eyes on Kayla Thornton. With her 14.6 points per game this season, she's playing like someone swapped her Wheaties with a can of spinach –– a la Popeye. Veronica Burton also brings some fire, her 11.2 point average providing a nice boost. Janelle Salaun is another warrior to keep your eyes on; her 1.4 assists per game aren't to be sneezed at.
The regular-season records put the Fever hot on top with a 6-5 advantage. The Valkyries aren't too far behind, though, with 5-6. Recent results have shown the Fever flexing their dominant muscles, and looking at the position in the standings, the Fever is #6 and the Valkyries #7. These statistics, subtle as a bison in a ballet, clearly reveal some patterns.
Combine all of this, including some cov(e)rt data related to Spreads and Payouts that shouldn't concern us today, and the Fever are clearly favored to win. The Valkyries wouldn't need luck, they would need a miracle.
