Stephen Nover's WNBA Thursday Bookie Basher
(WNBA) Indiana vs. Chicago,
Money Line: -147.00 Chicago (Home)
Result: Loss
Practice time means a lot in the WNBA. The Sky have that after returning home to Chicago following West Coast losses to the Sparks on Friday and Aces on Sunday.

The Sky are well-coached under James Wade. They have the best point spread mark in the WNBA at 7-2-1, including 3-0-1 ATS at home.

I see Wade making the necessary tweaks and adjustments to have his rested Sky ready to beat Indiana. The Fever are much improved this season, but they aren't better than Chicago.

The teams met nine days ago in Chicago and the Sky outscored the Fever by 10 points down the stretch to win by five points in overtime.

The Fever will be playing for the fourth time in seven days. That's rough for an WNBA team. The Fever also could enter this matchup a little too fat and happy after upsetting Washington at home two days ago.
