What happened: Indiana Fever host the Seattle Storm Friday with the score 0-0 and tip yet to come. Indiana enters as with the total set at 177.5.

Why it matters: The Fever have dropped their last game despite going 4-1 over their previous five, while the Storm arrive on a three-game skid. A win keeps Indiana's playoff positioning steady against one of the league's lowest-scoring defenses.

By the numbers: Fever are 15-10 this season, averaging 93.7 points and allowing 87.7. Storm are 6-20, averaging 80.4 points and allowing 85.5. Indiana won the teams' only prior meeting this season 89-78 on May 17.

What to watch: Watch whether Indiana can snap its one-game skid against a Storm team losing three straight.
