Aces vs. Fever Prediction
Take Caitlin Clark to go over 23.5 points tonight. For whatever reason, I don’t feel as though oddsmakers adjusted to Clark’s scoring in the second half of the WNBA season. Or at least the very least, they’ve been slow to adjust. Clark scored 26 points in the Fever’s 104-100 overtime victory over Atlanta last Sunday. She has scored at least 24 points in six consecutive games.
My only concern in relation to this prop bet is that Clark played 45 minutes in that win over the Dream. However, that game was three nights ago. There’s no reason to believe that Clark won’t see her regular 34-35 minutes tonight versus Las Vegas.
Aces vs. Fever WNBA Prediction: Caitlin Clark over 23.5 Points
