There is just one game on the card tonight, but it's an important one, as the fourth-place Atlanta Dream visit the Indiana Fever. Just one-half game separates the teams in the league standings as the teams creep towards the halfway mark of the 44-game campaign.
Now add in the Caitlin Clark-Angel Reese narrative, and the game takes on a new meaning for a pair of rabid fanbases that have the potential to set a viewership record. This will be a must-see battle with plenty of action.

If you're hoping to find more sports and WNBA betting promotions, Ballislife Bets has gathered together a list of the best sports betting offers here.
Here are the odds for Thursday's game (odds via FanDuel):
Atlanta Dream at Indiana Fever
The Fever have won three consecutive meetings, and the past eight straight-up winners in this series are on an 8-0 ATS win streak. So, as far as the side is concerned tonight, it might be smart to bet on whoever you think is going to win.
As for the total, five of the last seven meetings have stayed under, including three of the last four. The past two meetings played in Indianapolis have stayed well under the posted number, by 19.5 and 22.5 points.

Clark, who came in fifth place in the first fan returns in WNBA All-Star voting, could struggle to get to 30 in this category. During her three-year career (2 1/4 since she sat out most of 2025), she's averaging 16.9 points, 5.0 rebounds and 8.3 assists against the Dream. Considering the Dream rank tied for third in the league in allowing teams to deal 19.2 assists per game, helpers might be limited tonight.
Clark has scored 32, 25 and 21 in her last three games, the point total dropping each time, as the competition got, uhm, better. Now she's facing a stringent defense that allows just 7.6 3-pointers per game, fourth-fewest in the league. The posted total is based on her season average (32.9), but after topping that the last three games against mediocre competition, tonight will be tough.
For Reese, coming off a somewhat frustration-building performance that included a tussle with Isabelle Harrison, her emotions might have taken a toll. Now she steps in a venue that hasn't necessarily treated her kindly. In four trips to Indianapolis, Reese is averaging 10.5 points and 13.2 rebounds per game. That's three less than she'll need to top the posted total.
And in seven career outings against the Fever, Reese has averaged 11.6 points and 13.1 rebounds, which still falls short. Aliyah Boston isn't going to let Reese have much off the glass, in terms of secondary chances, evidenced by her 4.8 lifetime offensive rebounds average against the Fever.
Canada always offers an intriguing look, as she's one of the smartest guards in the WNBA that people tend to forget about. The nine-year veteran is averaging 5.1 assists per game during her career, but this season, she is serving a career-high 6.8 per outing.
Admittedly, the Fever lead the league in assists allowed per game, but Canada has registered seven or more helpers in six of her last nine battles with Indiana. This season, she's had seven or more assists in five games, including four of the last six. As big as this game is, with plenty on the line, Canada might have a dream performance.
