It's an exciting time for Indiana Fever fans and bettors. The Fever are back in contention and have been for a few years now. It started with the selection of Kelsey Mitchell in 2018, Aliyah Boston in 2023, and Caitlin Clark in 2024.

Indiana capitalized on back-to-back No. 1 overall draft picks and has turned into one of the top WNBA teams. The Clark era is fully here to stay.

The team has compiled a 44-40 record since 2024, and the Fever finished 24-20 despite injuries to Clark, Sophie Cunningham, Aari McDonald, and Syd Colson. Crowned Commissioner's Cup champions, the Fever finished as the No. 6 seed, which was good enough for the playoffs. In 2024, Indiana held a 20-20 win-loss record. In 2023, the team had just 13 wins, and even posted a 5-31 record in 2022.

It's safe to say the franchise has turned things around and has the third-best odds (+500) on FanDuel to win the 2025 WNBA Championship.

Here are the 2026 WNBA Championship odds, along with over/under win total odds for the 2026 season. In this article, I will provide offseason moves, including free agency under the new collective bargaining agreement.

Indiana Fever: Season Win Total Prediction

• OVER 29.5 wins (-105 FanDuel)

I know that 29.5 wins seems steep, especially given a regular season that poses just 44 games. However, we are talking about a Fever team that finished with 24 wins in 2025. Mind you, Caitlin Clark played just 13 games due to hamstring and groin injuries. In addition, Aari McDonald, Sophie Cunningham, Damiris Dantas, and Sydney Colson endured season/postseason-ending injuries.

This team not only snuck into the playoffs, but also knocked off the Atlanta Dream in the first round, and took the Las Vegas Aces to a Game 5 overtime in the semifinals. The Fever were just one victory away from a Finals appearance. Yes, we are talking about A'ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces. Their win total in 2025 (.545) was the highest since the 2015 season, when they last appeared in the WNBA Finals.

We know Kelsey Mitchell has what it takes to lead this team. Without Clark, she averaged 22.3 points, 1.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.0 steals in 8 playoff games last season. Although enduring rhabdomyolysis, Mitchell shot 42.9% from beyond the arc.

Now, the Fever get their starting point guard, Clark, back. She has looked sharp in training camp and was named FIBA Olympics Qualifying Tournament MVP. This is a team that won the Commissioners Cup against the Minnesota Lynx without Clark, and finished 16-15 without her. Imagine what this team is fully capable of with her healthy?

Not to mention, Indiana brought the band back together, re-signing Sophie Cunningham, Lexie Hull, and extending Boston to a monstrous contract. Plus, they added frontcourt depth and possibly the steal of the draft in defensive juggernaut Raven Johnson.

Why The Indiana Fever Could Be Championship Contenders

The Fever went on several win streaks, including a five-game one in August. From the middle of July to the beginning of August, Indiana won eight of 10 games and finished out the regular season hot on a three-game win streak. Notably, Indiana went 2-1 against the Aces in the regular season and 3-0 against the Seattle Storm. Although the Fever defeated the Phoenix Mercury, Minnesota Lynx, and New York Liberty, it lost the regular-season series to all three, something that should improve this season.

Last season, the Fever went 1-3 against New York and 0-3 against the Golden State Valkyries. What may pose a greater threat, though, this season is the Chicago Sky, whom they defeated four times in 2025.

Overall, the Fever are coming off their best offensive season (108.4 offensive rating), and are a team that loves to push in transition, as Clark previously made remarks about. Without Clark, both Boston and Mitchell managed to hold it down, averaging a combined 35.2 points per game.

Caitlin Clark is Back, Healthy

So far, the Fever are 2-1 in preseason, gathering wins over the Liberty and the Nigeria National Team. Although falling to Dallas, Clark and Mitchell look great. In three preseason games, Clark's shot has looked sharp, along with her passing in transition. She's averaged 13.3 points, 2.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists, shooting 45% from the field, and 45.5% from three, and 89.5% from the charity stripe.

In that span, Mitchell is tallying 15 points, shooting 51.5% from the field, and 50% from three in preseason action.

Don't overthink this. The Fever have a three-headed monster with Clark, Boston, and Mitchell, and re-signed Lexie Hull and Sophie Cunningham as 3-point and defensive chess pieces. I have no doubt Johnson will be the team's primary on-ball defender and bring much-needed defense to a team that gave up 81.5 points per game. Indiana was one of the better teams on the perimeter last season, shooting 34.6% from beyond the arc.

Final Pick + Prediction: Indiana Fever OVER 29.5 Wins (-105 FanDuel)

By adding Clark in the mix, it truly changes this team's entire dynamic. From pace to the fast break, Clark brings offensive structure, shot creation, transition opportunities, IQ, and facilitating at an elite level. Take the over 29.5 wins at nearly plus-money value.

In 2026, the Fever will face the Dream, Liberty, Mercury, and Lynx four times each, which presents a significant challenge in a good way. The Liberty retained their core and added Satou Sabally in free agency. The Dream additionally retained their core and traded for Angel Reese. The Wings made several free agency splashes and drafted Azzi Fudd No. 1 overall to pair with Paige Bueckers. The Minnesota Lynx lost several members of their core, will miss Napheesa Collier for a period of time due to injury, but drafted Olivia Miles No. 2 overall.

• Overall, the Fever averaged 84.9 points per game, posted a 13-9 home record, and an 11-11 road record. Indiana went 13-8 against conference teams despite injuries and adversity. Take over 29.5 total wins in 2026. If you're betting on this, all 44 of the Fever's regular-season matchups will air on national television.
