IND vs CHI Dream11: As the WNBA season approaches the halfway point, the All-Star voting deadline is near. We’ve seen some great fights throughout the season and there’s no doubt it’s been another fun season. So far, the Connecticut Suns and Las Vegas Aces have been established as the top two teams. Chicago Sky is also not far away and they will play Indiana Fever here.
The Fever are once again in the off-season, winning just four of their first 17 matches. They fought hard on the defensive end and lost the last game 80:93 despite Kelsey Mitchell’s 26-point effort. Sky, on the other hand, have done an amazing job of tapping into 10 wins and four losses, and have won six of their last seven matches. In their last game, Sky had an amazing overtime win as they won the Dream 106:100 as Kahleh Copper added 23 points. Can the sky continue its wonderful season?

WNBA Estimates, Stats & Analysis
the sky is awesome
The Chicago Sky’s title defense is on the right track and they’ve built a team that doesn’t depend on an ace to advance. The addition of Emma Messman to the fold has strengthened rebounding, scoring and overall team play. While Rebekah Gardner has brought a pleasant surprise off the bench. When you add these players into the fold of Copper, Parker, Quigley, Vanderslut, and Stevens, a core that has already brought home the championship, the results are sure to be encouraging.
Not encouraging results for fever
The Fever have been the worst defensive team in the league and it’s amazing that they brought in rookies like Nalissa Smith and Emily Engstler, both wonderful defenders, especially in helping situations. Ironically, the team’s internal defense has been poor. On the offensive end, there are issues too, with the team relying heavily on Kelsey Mitchell and although Victoria Vivian has evolved as a player, overall, they have struggled in myriad ways.

India vs CHI dream11 lineup balancers
- Queen Egbo (IND) was 12 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks, 1 stolen In the last game. Center Agbo has been a strong player from inside and can get it as a rebounder. I believe she will be in the 8-14 points and 5-8 rebound range.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 17-26 - Danielle Robinson (India) was 3 points, 6 assists, 3 rebounds, 1 theft In the last game. Danielle has completed it as a playmaker but has not been able to make it to the scoring end. I am sure she will be in the 5-9 points and 4-7 assist range.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 10-22 - Azure Stevens (CHI) was 15pPoints, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 blocks In the last game. Azure is an incredible scorer who can be effective off the bench and as a starter. I expect 10-15 points and a 4-7 rebound range.
Expected notional score range: 20-30 - Emily Engstler (IND) was 5 points, 2 rebounds, 2 blocks, 1 theft In the last game. Emily’s influence has waned but I believe she deserves more minutes. I believe she will be in the 6-11 points and 4-6 rebound range.

Expected Fantasy Points Range: 18-27 - Destiny Henderson (IND) was 3 points, 1 assist, 1 rebound, 2 theft In the last game. Henderson has shown promise but his minutes are limited. I am sure she will be in the 3-7 points and 2-4 assist range.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 10-22 - Eli Quigley (CHI) was 17 points, 1 rebound, 1 theft In the last game. Guard Quigley is few in number but he is still a threat as a long range sniper. I am sure she will be in the range of 11-16 points.
