Key Storylines
- Indiana enters the night riding a five‑game winning streak. They got an impressive road win over the Seattle Storm on Sunday afternoon and will look to win another road game here.
- Caitlin Clark remains sidelined with a groin strain and is expected to be out until at least August 12.
- The Fever have adapted to Clark’s absence with Aliyah Boston and Natasha Howard anchoring the interior. Kelsey Mitchell has stepped up even more than usual in Clark’s absence as well.
- The Sparks are navigating a rebuild under first‑year head coach Lynne Roberts. They have been playing better of late with four wins in their last five games.
- The Sparks are fighting hard to try and move into the top eight in the WNBA standings to earn a playoff berth. They enter Tuesday 1.5 games behind the Golden State Valkyries for that final playoff position.
Head‑to‑Head & Betting Trends
Los Angeles leads the regular season series 2‑0 so far. They won both meetings in Indianapolis and will host the Fever for the first time in this game. The Sparks have averaged 87 points per game in their two wins over the Fever this year and those games went 1-1 in the over/under market.

Final Thoughts
I have no choice but to give credit to the Indiana Fever for playing as well as they have without Caitlin Clark on the floor. Both of these teams are playing well but I think that Indiana’s interior play and the shooting of Mitchell will help the Fever get a sixth straight win on Tuesday night. I’ll lay the 1.5 points with Indiana in this inter-conference matchup.
