Fever vs. Lynx Prediction
Even though the number is juiced heavily to the under, I still like Clark to go over 9.5 (+110) in assists today. I banged this same number ahead of her matchup with Phoenix on Friday and Clark posted 13 assists for a third consecutive game. In fact, she hasn’t had fewer than double-digit assists since a June 27 matchup at Seattle (she finished with seven assists in that game). Thus, Clark has posted at least 10 assists per game in five consecutive contests.
Fever vs. Lynx WNBA Prediction: Caitlin Clark over 9.5 assists (+110)
