Indiana Fever vs Chicago Sky Prediction and Betting Tips

Indiana Fever vs Chicago Sky Prediction and Betting Tips – June 7

What had been billed as a marquee showdown between the Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky on Saturday has lost some of its shine, with WNBA star Caitlin Clark sidelined due to the left quadriceps strain she suffered on May 24.

The much-anticipated Clark vs. Angel Reese rivalry, which has been a major draw since both entered the league in 2024, won’t take center stage in this one, as a retooled Fever squad takes on a struggling but resurging Sky team.

Here’s a preview of Friday’s Indiana Fever vs Chicago Sky game, scheduled to tip off 8 p.m. ET at Wintrust Arena in Chicago.

Indiana Fever vs Chicago Sky preview

With Caitlin Clark out, fans won’t get the sophomore rematch with Angel Reese, which adds a layer of unpredictability to this matchup. Indiana snapped a losing skid with a win over the Mystics, improving to 3-4 and sitting just below .500.

Chicago enters at 2-4 but carries momentum from back-to-back victories over Dallas. Ariel Atkins has been key to the Sky’s turnaround, scoring 17 points in the first win and exploding for 26 in the second.

For the Fever, offense has looked shaky without Clark, with Kelsey Mitchell carrying much of the load. Lexie Hull stepped up with 14 points in their latest win, but consistent production has been lacking from Sydney Colson and DeWanna Bonner. Sophie Cunningham has also missed time, thinning Indiana’s rotation.
