Toronto Tempo vs Indiana Fever Picks and Prediction
Toronto Tempo vs Indiana Fever Pick
- Pick: Indiana Fever -7.5
Indiana enters this matchup in stronger form with four wins in its last five games and a solid 5-2 home record. The Fever also hold statistical advantages in scoring offense, field goal percentage, rebounding, assists, blocks, and scoring defense. Toronto has struggled defensively at times, allowing 89.7 points per game and coming off a 25-point loss against Atlanta. With Indiana carrying momentum and owning the better overall profile, the Fever look capable of covering the 7.5-point spread on their home floor.
Toronto Tempo vs Indiana Fever Total Pick
- Pick: Over 176.5
I am looking toward the over in this matchup. Toronto games have featured plenty of scoring recently, including contests with 179, 208, and 153 total points over their last five games. Indiana has also been involved in several high-scoring matchups, including a 220-point overtime game against Chicago. Both teams average at least 88 points per game offensively, and with the total sitting at 176.5, I believe there is enough offensive production on both sides to push this game over the number.
Final Score Prediction: Indiana Fever 93 – Toronto Tempo 84
