WNBA Game 3 Predictions: Top Bets for Fever vs. Dream by Reliable Experts on September 18, Thursday
The Indiana Fever and Atlanta Dream are set to face off in a winner-take-all Game 3 of their first-round series in the WNBA playoffs on Thursday, Sept. 18. The Game 3 will take place at the Gateway Center in College Park, Ga.
The Fever secured a 77-60 victory in Game 2, a defensive battle that saw both teams stay under 150 points. This defensive intensity and slow pace are expected to be heightened in Game 3, given the stakes of the match.
Kelsey Mitchell, the Fever's shooting guard, played a significant role in their Game 2 win, scoring 19 points. However, her 1-for-4 showing in Game 1 has led experts to predict that she will score under 2.5 3-pointers in Game 3. Interestingly, Mitchell has gone under this mark in four of six games against Karl Smesko's Atlanta defense.
Mitchell made four triples on her home floor in Game 2, but her road performance against Atlanta has been less successful. She has made a total of two threes in her three games against Atlanta on the road.
The defensive matchup between the Fever and Dream has been strong, with the Fever successfully shutting down Atlanta stars Rhyne Howard and Allisha Gray in Game 2. The total points in Game 3 are expected to be under 153.5 points, based on the defensive intensity and the averages from the first two games (142.5 points).
Sports analysts Calvin Wetzel and Aaron Barzilai have recommended betting on the Indiana Fever to win against the Atlanta Dream. The best bet for Kelsey Mitchell's number of 3-pointers in Game 3 is under 2.5 (-130) on FanDuel. The best bet for the total points in the Fever vs. Dream Game 3 is also under 153.5 points (-108) on FanDuel.
