CHI vs IND Dream11: I love the WNBA, it has a lot of talent to offer. Tough jumpers, brilliant floaters, runners, low-post, high-post moves, great defense, and much more to offer on a nightly basis. No matter what the popular narratives surrounding the league say, it is must-watch basketball for those who want to learn the game. And you will have a lot to learn if you tune into the game between the Chicago Sky and the Indiana Fever.
The Sky have won three of the five games and the team has done well to start the title race as their full strength unit is finally in full flow. The Sky had an amazing second half in the last game leading to an 82-73 win behind a triple-double by Candace Parker. On the other hand, Indiana Fever has lost six of the eight games and their last game was against the Sun, losing 70:92 in another tough game. Can the Fever get something going or is it going to be another long and hard season?

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis
Sky is strong, Fever needs a lot of work
The return of Kahleah Copper brings back the scoring balance for the Sky. With Copper back, the Guard position, the Forward position, and the middle are all in great shape. Parker nabbed a triple-double in the last game, Messeman is amazing at shot-selection, Copper is an incredible scorer whereas Vandersloot knows how to set up her teammates. Azure Stevens, Rebekah Gardner, Dana Evans, and Allie Quigley round off really a deep team. Sky’s defense will be tough too with Copper’s return.
The Fever has had a tough start to the season, and the off-guard position hasn’t given them much. The team is again overly dependent upon Kelsey Mitchell, and when she has a cold night, her team is off-the-radar. NaLyssa Smith is badly needed by the squad as she was continuously raising her offensive game and had improved her shooting, while her defense and rebounding are also huge. At this point, the team may need to give Destanni Henderson an extended run while Queen Egbo will need to do more alongside Emily Engstler.
