Why the Fever can cover
Indiana was unable to cover the spread in its first two losses of the season, but the Fever were significantly more competitive on Saturday. They stayed within the 13.5-point spread in the 91-80 final, outscoring New York by nine points in the second half. Clark had 22 points, eight assists and six rebounds, shooting 9 of 17 from the floor and 4 of 10 from 3-point range.
The Fever shot 41.2% from the floor and forced 20 turnovers, as four starters finished in double figures. Connecticut is going on the road for the first time this season and will be playing in front of a raucous crowd, so this is a difficult scheduling spot for them. Meanwhile, Indiana is settling into the season and is motivated to pick up its first win of the year. See which side to back at SportsLine.
Why the Sun can cover
While Indiana is coming off its third game of the season on Saturday, Connecticut has not played since Saturday and has only played twice thus far. The Sun are rested heading into their first road game, and they will be confident after cruising to a 92-71 win over Indiana last week. Forward Alyssa Thomas posted a triple-double with 13 points, 13 assists and 10 rebounds in that game, while guard DeWanna Bonner added 20 points and six rebounds.
The Sun forced 25 turnovers in that dominant win, with 10 of those mishaps coming from Clark. Connecticut added an 84-77 win over Washington on Friday night, as Bonner scored a team-high 22 points on 9 of 19 shooting. Thomas had a double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds, while DiJonai Carrington scored 21 points. See which side to back at SportsLine.
