Connecticut Sun vs. Indiana Fever: Picks, Predictions, Odds and Player Props

The Connecticut Sun will be looking for a season sweep of Indiana Fever after knocking off first-place New York on Saturday.

The Sun moved to within 2.5 games of league-leading New York with a 72-64 victory over the Liberty on Saturday night.

They now go for the four-game season sweep of the Indiana Fever on Wednesday night.

Indiana, meanwhile, is closing in on its first playoff berth in eight seasons. The Fever have gone 11-6 after starting the season 3-10, and sit firmly in seventh place in the league.

Kelsey Mitchell had 29 points while Caitlin Clark went for 19 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists in Indiana’s 84-79 victory over the Atlanta Dream last night.

Connecticut has won handily twice at home against Indiana this season, but Wednesday’s game is in Indiana, where the Fever took the Sun to the wire before losing, 88-84, in May.

Connecticut Sun vs. Indiana Fever betting picks and predictions

Connecticut Sun -2.5 (-105)

The Fever, like most teams, are much tougher at home, going 8-5 straight up and 9-4 against the spread. The team has gone 3-1 to start the second half of the season, and Clark has solidified herself as both the team’s leader and the Rookie of the Year favorite.

Connecticut has won 4-of-5 since the season’s restart earlier this month. That includes three straight, with the win at the Liberty the standout performance of this stretch. Marina Mabrey is settling in following her trade from the Chicago Sky. She is averaging 12 points per game in five contests for Connecticut, but she is averaging 19.5 over her last two games.

With Mabrey in the lineup, Connecticut has six bona fide scorers averaging in double figures, led by DeWanna Bonner (16.2 ppg).

Indiana counters with Mitchell (team-leading 18.2 ppg), Clark (18 ppg), and Aliyah Boston (13.9) should have a good game inside, but the Sun should win and cover that 2.5-point spread.

Over 164 points (-110)

The two teams combined for 172 the last time they faced off in Indiana. Connecticut has the best scoring defense in the league (73.4 points allowed), while Indiana has the second worst, surrendering over 87 points a game.

This is another primetime moment for Clark to show her wares and push Indiana further back into the WNBA conversation. Look for a high scoring affair as the teams should total more than 161.5 points.

DeWanna Bonner under 14.5 points (+100)

Bonner does lead the Sun in scoring, but she is only averaging 14 points a game in the season’s second half. That most likely speaks less to her performance and more to the presence of Mabrey, who has further spread the offensive wealth for a deep Connecticut side.

Expect Bonner to have a solid performance, but score less than 14 points against the Fever.

Marina Mabrey over 13.5 points (-115)

Mabrey is proving her worth each night out for the Sun. She’s led the team in scoring twice since arriving, and tallied a combined 39 points in wins over New York and Chicago. Her presence opens up opportunities for her Sun teammates, including Alyssa Thomas and Brionna Jones in addition to Bonner, but it is a reciprocal relationship.

Mabrey should get some strong outside looks with Indiana’s defense collapsing inside on Bonner, Thomas, and Jones.

Look for Mabrey to score in double digits again and surpass 13.5 points.

Caitlin Clark over 19.5 points (-115) and over 8.5 assists (-130)

Clark continues to show each game that she is as good as advertised. She is up to 18 points a game, including 23.5 per in the team’s four games since the break. She is also leading the league in assists with 8.2, and has at least eight dimes in 10 of the team’s last 13 games.

Look for Clark to stay hot all over the floor and score more than 19.5 points and hand out more than 8.5 assists.
