As the 2026 WNBA season winds to a close, there’s still a lot left to play for. Although the eight playoff participants were decided several weeks ago, no team has yet confirmed its seed. As things stand, though, the Minnesota Lynx will be the top seed, facing the New York Liberty in the first round and then either the Atlanta Dream or the Indiana Fever in the second round.
The Fever can’t finish any higher than the No. 3 seed, but they can play spoiler, as both of their last two games are against the Lynx, who are just one game ahead of the Golden State Valkyries in the quest for home-court advantage throughout the playoffs. The first game in the home-and-home set begins at 8:10 p.m. ET tonight in Indiana.
Both teams have one major contributor on their injury report; Minnesota’s MVP candidate, Olivia Miles (calf) is questionable, while the Fever’s Caitlin Clark (back) is probable. Given the stakes of the game, though, I’d expect both to play.
Indiana is a -112 favorite at DraftKings Sportsbook, with the point total set for 185.5, and the Lynx are -108 on the Moneyline. Below, I’ve detailed my favorite prop bet centered around Clark.
Best Caitlin Clark Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook
Caitlin Clark 35+ Points + Assists (+154)
Clark has been spectacular since the All-Star break, averaging 25.3 points and 9.3 assists per game on 47-40-83 shooting splits across that span. She’s reached the 35-point P/A threshold eight times in 15 games in that stretch, making +154 tremendous value, especially since one of those games (a 28-point, 14-assist masterpiece in a blowout win over the Toronto Tempo) came after she returned from international duty with Team USA at the FIBA Women’s World Cup in Berlin. She’s been overshadowed by Wilson and Miles, but Clark has quietly had by far the best season of her professional career.
On paper, Minnesota will make it difficult for her to rack up stats — the Lynx have the league’s third-best defensive rating — but since the All-Star break, Minnesota has slipped slightly to sixth on that side of the ball. In that span, the Lynx have allowed just the seventh-fewest assists while allowing opponents to attempt the second-most threes per game and connect on such shots at the fifth-highest rate. Some of it is shooting luck, but Minnesota can’t afford rely on getting lucky when Clark’s backcourt partner is Kelsey Mitchell (25.1 points per game on league-leading 45.6% accuracy from beyond the arc). Mitchell, Aliyah Boston, and Sophie Cunningham — the next-most frequent three-point shooters after Clark — have all connected at a rate north of 40%, opening up space for Clark to either score or assist.
