The Indiana Fever travel to Brooklyn on Saturday night for a Commissioner’s Cup showdown against the New York Liberty at Barclays Center. This game features two of the WNBA’s biggest stars in Caitlin Clark and Breanna Stewart, along with an intriguing battle in the paint between Aliyah Boston and Jonquel Jones. Oddsmakers have installed New York as a slight home favorite, as they look for a fourth straight win against an Indiana team aiming to stay above the .500 mark for the 2026 season.
Our Fever vs Liberty Prediction
- Pick: New York Liberty -3.5
- Confidence: 4 out of 5
Indiana Fever vs New York Liberty Model Projection
- Score Projection: Indiana Fever 85 – New York Liberty 91
- Win Probability: Indiana Fever 43%, New York Liberty 57%
This should be a competitive game from start to finish. Indiana possesses elite offensive talent and can create scoring bursts through Clark’s playmaking and Mitchell’s perimeter shooting. However, New York enters with the stronger defense and the advantage of playing at Barclays Center.
The Liberty also matches up well physically against Indiana. Stewart remains one of the league’s most versatile two-way players, while Jones gives New York a strong interior presence. Indiana can certainly win outright if Clark avoids too many turnovers and Boston wins her matchup with Jones inside. Still, the slightly deeper Liberty roster and home floor push my projection in New York’s direction.

Indiana Fever vs New York Liberty Same Game Parlay
- New York Liberty Moneyline -162
- Caitlin Clark Over 7.5 Assists -154
- Jonquel Jones Over 8.5 Rebounds -123
Parlay Odds: +355
The logic behind this parlay is straightforward. New York is a small favorite at home and owns the deeper frontcourt rotation. Clark remains one of the league’s top facilitators and is regularly trusted to create offense on nearly every possession. Jones has a favorable rebounding outlook against a Fever team that can play at a fast pace, creating extra opportunities on both ends of the floor. If the Liberty wins and Jones controls the glass, Clark’s assist opportunities should still remain high due to Indiana’s explosive offense.
Indiana Fever vs New York Liberty Prop Bet
Breanna Stewart Over 19.5 Points -106
Stewart continues to be New York’s most dependable scoring option. In a game expected to remain competitive throughout, her minutes and shot volume should be substantial. Indiana has improved defensively, but still faces a difficult assignment against Stewart’s ability to score from the perimeter, in transition, and around the basket. Stewart reaching 20 points is a strong value play.

|---|---|---|
| Offensive Rating | 108.4 | 109.0 |
| Defensive Rating | 103.7 | 103.6 |

This game has the ingredients of one of the most entertaining WNBA contests on Saturday’s schedule. Indiana’s offense can stress any defense when Clark is creating opportunities and Mitchell is knocking down perimeter shots. The Fever also have a major advantage whenever Boston establishes position near the basket.
Still, New York gets the nod. The Liberty own the stronger defensive outlook, have the benefit of playing at home, and feature a proven championship core led by Stewart. Even if Indiana keeps things close throughout the evening, New York appears slightly better equipped to execute during the final minutes.
