The Indiana Fever (22-20) have their sight set on the playoffs as they face the Washington Mystics (16-26) today at 3 p.m. ET from CFG Bank Arena in Baltimore (NBA TV).

My Fever vs. Mystics prediction backs Indiana, the 5.5-point betting favorite, to inch one step closer to a playoff spot with a big win. Central to their forthcoming victory will be Kelsey Mitchell, the focal point of my favorite WNBA picks player prop.

📝 Fever vs. Mystics preview & best bet

⬆️ Fever Over 83.5 points (-110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

ESPN BET is currently alone among our best sports betting sites while offering team totals. When this market becomes more available, I’d like the Fever’s team total at 84.5 or better as a four-star play.

Indiana scored 97 points during a 12-point victory over the Chicago Sky on Friday. The Fever have needed to score to win since losing Clark to injury on July 15. They've cleared this team total in eight of their 11 victories since mid-July.

The Fever have been averaging 84.9 points in their past 20 outings without Clark. That’s up from their season average of 84.7 points per contest.

Indiana has scored 169 points in the last two meetings with Washington, clearing this prop both times. I’ll take the -110 price on the Fever to do it again, with a $10 bet netting a $9.09 profit at ESPN Bet.

💰 Best Fever vs. Mystics player prop bet

⬆️ Kelsey Mitchell Over 23.5 points + assists (-125) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Kelsey Mitchell has become the engine of Indiana’s offense, averaging 20.5 points and 3.5 assists per game this season. She’s needed to facilitate even more due to injuries at the point guard position, as evidenced by her eight-assist performance on Friday.

Mitchell is averaging 21.9 points and 4.7 assists over her past 15 games, clearing this combo prop nine times. This line is as high as 24.5 in the market, illustrating the bargain at bet365 to earn $8 on a $10 bet.

Indiana begins as a 6.5-point favorite, which seems like a fair line for a matchup between one team that's trying and one team that isn’t. The Fever have covered the spread four times in the last five games, so the line could move further in their favor before tipoff.

How do WNBA odds work?

When betting on the WNBA, the point spread shows how many points the favorite needs to win by in order to cash the bet. For example, a favorite of -5.5 must win by 6 or more points to cover the spread, while an underdog at +5.5 must win outright or lose by 5 or fewer points to cover the spread.

Moneyline odds represent the payout for picking the outright winner (+200 means a $100 bet wins $200, while -200 means a $200 bet wins $100). Over/Unders let you wager on whether the combined total will be higher or lower than the set number.

You can determine the payouts and implied probabilities for any wager - or convert odds to different formats - with our odds converter.
