The Fever are 0-1 since Caitlin Clark suffered a quad injury that’s expected to keep her sidelined for at least two weeks. It’ll be a tough couple weeks for Indiana, as it looks for Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell to step up.
Indiana returns to action tonight as it hosts the Connecticut Sun. The Fever are 2-3, while the Sun are 0-5 to start the 2025 season.
Even without Clark, the Fever are 12.5-point favorites at home, and the game total is set at 158 points on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Here are my favorite Boston prop bets for Friday’s game.
Best Aliyah Boston Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Aliyah Boston under 15.5 points (-115)
After back-to-back All-Star seasons, Boston entered her third WNBA season with high expectations on a talented Indiana team. She’s started off strong with averages of 16.8 points, 10 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game while shooting 62.5 percent from the field in five outings.
Clark rightfully gets much of the attention, but Boston has been an impressive player for a rising Fever squad. That said, she does benefit from being a secondary scorer. Now that she’s sharing No. 1 duties with Mitchell, defenses can focus in on her more effectively.
That’s never the case when Clark is on the floor because teams would be silly to leave Clark unattended.
Boston scored 10 points on 4-of-5 shooting against the Mystics. It was her first game without Clark this season. While it was an efficient outing, there wasn’t much volume. That’s the concern yet again for tonight’s matchup against the Sun. Mitchell took 16 shots and Natasha Howard and DeWanna Bonner both took 10 shots.
While Boston has had three games of more than 19 points, she also has a game with 10 points and another with four points. Her inconsistency makes this prop difficult, but I’m expecting Mitchell, Howard and Bonner to lead the offense again.
