CHI vs IND Dream11 Prediction WNBA Live Fantasy Basketball Dream11 Team, Top Picks and Tips for Chicago Sky vs Indiana Fever

CHI vs IND Dream11: The WNBA has reached the midway point and this has been another cracking season. In a few days, we will witness the All-Star Game which is bound to give us some amazing shooting action. But for most teams, this is high time to figure out what combinations they are to use if they have to make a deep run. One of those teams is Indiana Fever and they will take on the Chicago Sky here.

The Sky has looked every bit of the defending champions they are on and have earned 15 wins and 6 losses. Their five-game winning streak was snapped when they lost to the Lynx 78:81 despite a 20 points performance by Kahleah Copper. Meanwhile, things haven’t changed for Indiana Fever since last season and they continue to struggle with just five wins and a humungous 18 wins. They are on a five-game losing streak and lost 73-95 against the Storm, again exclusively relying on Kelsey Mitchell who scored 21. Can the Fever overcome the odds here?

Host: Indiana Fever
Visitors: Chicago Sky
Match Timing: 8 July, @04:30 AM (+05:30 UTC)
Venue: Indiana Farmers Colliseum

WNBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Sky has all the tools

The Sky has a lot to offer in terms of options. First of all, their defense is amazing as most of their players are experienced and know when to switch, and when to hedge, thus making the team impenetrable. On the offensive end, they have isolation options, off-the-ball shooters, designated ball-handlers and also finishers, which means they are tight-knit. They have perhaps the most amount of all-around players and this versatility has profited the team in accumulating wins. Careful shot selection, crisp ball movement, and tight defense, are always the hallmarks of a title-winning team.

Fever lacks the versatility

Fever has once again fared poorly. The problems remain the same, stagnant offense, terrible defense, and a lack of confidence among teammates. This is a team that brought in an impressive rookie trio of NaLyssa Smith, Emily Engstler, and Queen Egbo, but the coaching staff is yet to figure out the lineups that can be effective on both ends. Kelsey Mitchell continues to share the major load on the offensive end as she has dipped in most of the share on the offense. Vivians has disappeared after a decent start, and the Fever is reeling once again.

Kahleah Copper(CHI)
Points: 20
Rebounds: 02

Victoria Vivians(IND)

Courtney Vandersloot(CHI)
