Editor’s Note: Fever G Caitlin Clark (groin) has been ruled out for tonight’s game vs. the Sparks.
Caitlin Clark is taking the WNBA by storm. She’s second in MVP odds as we near the halfway point of the season. The Fever have booked a ticket to the Commissioner’s Cup Championship against the Minnesota Lynx next week. As her star rises, so does Indiana. And the Los Angeles Sparks are standing in her way.
While only 7-7, Indiana has a clear path to rise in the Eastern Conference. They weathered the storm of Caitlin’s injury and are positioned well to compete for a playoff spot this year. If they can stay healthy and continue to gel as a group, I see no reason to doubt this Fever squad. The Caitlin Clark-Aliyah Boston tandem can lead them to great things. This contest against the Los Angeles Sparks gives them another tune-up before the Cup Championship, and a chance to get over .500 for good.
The Fever are 10.5-point favorites at home and are -535 on the moneyline on DraftKings Sportsbook. The game total is set at 172 points. Let’s look at the best Caitlin Clark prop bets for this contest.
Best Caitlin Clark Prop Bets
Over 34.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-130)
This Sparks defense has been brutal in the early WNBA season. They have the third-worst defensive rating in the league and lack the defensive personnel to contain high-level guards. With the offensive burden on Kelsey Plum’s shoulders, Odyssey Sims figured to get the Caitlin matchup. Sims is a good player in her own right, but guarding a player of this talent level is above her pay grade.
Caitlin’s scoring threat in this one is high. There’s also going to be a lot of pace in this game. Los Angeles will try to run with the Fever and stay competitive offensively. That means more rebounds for Caitlin and transition passes going the other way. This all bodes well for a big Clark stat line.
Oh, and she’s been dominating at home this year. After a rough three-game road trip where she shot 1-for-23 from deep, Clark will be back in the friendly confines of the Gainbridge Fieldhouse. It’s all lining up for a colossal performance.
