The Indiana Fever will face the Atlanta Dream in the first round of the WNBA Playoffs; the best-of-3 series begins Sunday in Atlanta. Here is Fever Insider Chloe Peterson's prediction for the series:
Prediction: Atlanta, 2-1
Indiana and Atlanta split the season series 2-2, but all four of those games were played before the midpoint of the season.
The Fever have had five season-ending injuries since the last time the two teams played on July 11, including one to star Caitlin Clark.
Indiana will have an issue with Atlanta's post tandem of Brionna Jones and Brittney Griner, especially considering the Fever lost some height with those injuries. The Fever could salvage one win in this series, but they likely couldn't get past the surging Dream. Looking for a free mini puzzle? Play the USA
