Dream vs Fever Preview, Prediction, Injuries, Lineups, Odds & Where to Watch – WNBA 2025 Commissioner's Cup (June 10)

The Atlanta Dream are ready to take the lead when it comes to home matchup record against the Indiana Fever on June 10. The Fever will be visiting the WNBA franchise Atlanta this time on Tuesday night. It is a crucial game for both teams since for the Dream, it is a matter of lost pride after their last game with the Connecticut Sun. On the other hand, there is the Fever who seem to be in better shape and recovered from the lack of Caitlin Clark from the roster. They are on a two-game winning streak, and the momentum can't get any better for them, considering their underwhelming performance last week.

Looking at the Eastern Conference rankings, the Atlanta Dream holds the second rank, just below the reigning champions, the New York Liberty. On the other hand, the three-game losing streak for the Fever has brought down their winning percentage. However, it is reflective of the grit and depth they have on their side. The Dream are already a strong side this season. So there are chances that the upcoming clash will decide who dominates the rest of the season. Moreover, it will also come up with another team that can claim its spot at the playoffs. It seems like a far-fetched statement, but the momentum will be set in this tournament.

These teams do not have any rivalry as of now. However, their close encounters imply that it is turning into an intense rivalry. But before moving on to the details and the possibility of the winning team, let's take a look at the preview of the Dream vs Fever game.

Dream vs Fever Match Preview

The Atlanta Dream has a record of 5-3 in the Eastern Conference rankings. Wth the recent loss against the Sun, the Indiana Fever are standing at a bitter spot with 4 wins and 4 losses. That's why the Dream has a 62.5 winning percentage. Meanwhile, the Fever have only kept up with a 50% winning percentage. Indiana has won and lost four games each out of the eight games that they played in the league so far.

Since the matchup is at the home turf of the Atlanta Dream, their previous season performance matters here. The last game that they played against the Fever on May 22 was a failure in College Park, Atlanta. Moreover, the Dream ended the previous season(2024) with an 8-12 record at home and 7-13 in the Eastern Conference. Atlanta dished out 77.0 points per game while shooting 40.8% from the field and 30.8% from 3-point range in the 2024 WNBA season.

The Fever had hit a rough patch after winning against Atlanta on May 22. They lost three consecutive games and bounced back recently. Currently, they have winning momentum due to winning the last two games. This team finished 11-9 in the Eastern Conference during the 2024-25 season. So Fever performed better in the Conference than the Atlanta Dream, but they had Clark on their end as well.

Moreover, the Fever averaged 85.0 points per game in the 2024 season. So the points tally might not reach the average mark, but it is still a tough fight to conquer for the Dream. Here are the details about the Dream vs Fever fixture on June 10:

Dream vs Fever Injury Report

Atlanta Dream is on a roll, and a big reason why they have attained this consistency is that they have managed to make up the healthiest squad this season. Even in the upcoming game against the Fever, they have no reports of injury from any player. On the other hand, the Indiana Fever is missing a key core and second-string player. The bench player, like Sophie Cunningham, might make her return, but the looming issue around Clark's status is not clear. Here is a detailed injury report about both teams.

Dream Injury Report

• No reported injuries for Atlanta. The Dream appears at full strength.

Fever Injury Report

• Caitlin Clark (G): OUT – She has not played in the previous four games for the team after the New York Liberty. Her left quadriceps strain was expected to recover by June 10, as per ESPN. Her absence removes Indiana’s elite playmaker and top scorer (19 ppg, 9.3 apg). The rookie of the year is still not expected to return yet.

• Sophie Cunningham (G): GTD – Sophie Cunningham had ankle issues, due to which she was out for some games. However, she is still under observation and might play against Atlanta due to a game-time decision from the Front office.

Dream vs Fever Players To Watch

The last time the Indiana Fever and the Atlanta Dream clashed in the WNBA was for a regular-season matchup on May 22. Natasha Howard was the star of that showdown because she recorded 26 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 assists. Kelsey was the top performer after her with 17 points and 3 rebounds. But right now, Kelsey has a better momentum than Howard, so Atlanta needs to look out for her. On the other end of the floor, there is Atlanta Dream, where Rhyne dished out 24 points and 5 rebounds against the Fever. But so far, it seems the star of the night has not changed for the Dream.

Kelsey Mitchell (Indiana Fever)

In the absence of Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham, Kelsey Mitchell is stealing the highlight in the games. She dished out 17 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 assists in the previous game against the Chicago Sky on May 7, 2025. Mitchell has been playing for eight seasons with the franchise and was a first-round pick 2 for the team in 2018. She is the most consistent Fever player and has attended 40 games.

Even this season, in all eight games that she has played, Kelsey averaged 17.4 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 2.9 assists. In the 2024 season, she dished out 19.2 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game. It is worth noting that the guard flaunted a 46.8% field goal percentage and a 40.2% shooting from the three-point line. She tallied all these numbers while playing for an average time of 32 minutes last season.

Rhyne Howard (Atlanta Dream)

Rhyne Howard dumped 18 points, 4 rebounds, and 6 assists in the last game against the Connecticut Sun. Although her team lost the game by 8 8-point margin(76-84), it did not dim the impact of her performance. So far in eight games with the Dream this season, she has averaged 17.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 5.1 assists.

Last season, she played 30 games while recording 17.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 3.1 assists for the Atlanta Dream. So it is evident that she has improved her game to another level. She not only leads the team but also takes the captaincy of the scoring as well.

Dream vs Fever Prediction: Who will win?

Atlanta enters with a home-court psychological edge and a healthier roster with Rhyne and Brionna Jones on their side. Also, they have a better frontcourt since Brittney Griner, Brionna Jones, and Allisha Gray, all three of them, recorded 6 rebounds in the last game against the Sun. Meanwhile, the scoring is just the byproduct of the pressure that their team puts on the other team defensively. So the Indiana Fever have to stay on their toes to tackle the solid Atlanta Dream side.

Indiana relies heavily on Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell. Clark is questionable, and they are only left with Mitchell on their end. Natasha Howard has to display the same performance that she did in the previous game. Occasionally, she has even been the top performer of the team. In the previous game against the Chicago Sky, she recorded 13 points, 5 rebounds, and 1 assist. Despite a 27-point blowout victory against Sky, no one on the Indiana roster could grab more than 6 rebounds.

The matchup may hinge on Dream’s ability to control the paint and neutralize Indiana’s transition game. Moreover, short bench depth may prove to be fatal for the Indiana Fever in the upcoming game.

Prediction:

Atlanta Dream 82, Indiana Fever 78

Atlanta Dream to win by 4 points.

Dream vs Fever Betting Odds

• Spread: Atlanta Dream to win by 4.5 points.

• Moneyline: Dream -135 | Fever at +115.

• Over/Under: Around 166.5 total points

Despite the unavailability of Clark, Fever are expected to put up a close fight to establish that they are well competitive without reigning Rookie of the Year. For now, the Atlanta Dream seems to be the favorite to win the game. However, make sure to check if Caitlin is playing or not playing in the game even minutes before the game. If she plays the matchup, the odds will drastically turn in Indiana's favor.
