Caitlin Clark’s star is continuing to rise with each passing game. The Indiana Fever guard won the Rookie of the Year award, made the All-Star game, was first team All-WNBA, and placed fourth in MVP voting last year. This season, she’s up to second in MVP odds and will continue to climb.
Though the Fever are only 6-6, they lost some ground due to Clark’s injury. They seem a lock to improve on last year’s 20-20 record and make the playoffs yet again. Growth isn’t always linear, but they’ll hope for that trajectory as Clark becomes more comfortable. Indiana has four games to get tuned up before the Commissioner’s Cup Championship on July 1st against the Minnesota Lynx. Bringing home the first WNBA trophy of the Clark era would be a big first step.
Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Aces isn’t the contender measuring stick it used to be, but a good test, nonetheless. The Fever are 1.5-point favorites on the road and are -122 on the Moneyline on DraftKings Sportsbook. The game total is set at 171 points. Let’s look at the best Caitlin Clark prop bet for this contest.
Best Caitlin Clark Prop Bet
Over 9.5 Assists (+110)
This promises to be a high-scoring affair. None of the five games on Sunday’s slate have a total higher than 171. This Fever team can put points up in a hurry and loves to push the pace. Clark is at the center of it all.
Clark has recorded nine or more assists in three of her last four contests. Nobody on this Las Vegas Aces team can keep pace with her, and there will be opportunities galore for her to rack up the dimes. I expect Aces head coach Becky Hammon to throw multiple bodies at Clark, creating plenty of dumpoff pass chances. Those easy assists will boost her line in addition to her difficult reads.
