Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever welcome the Washington Mystics to Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Wednesday, and we have you covered with our best Mystics vs. Fever prediction and expert picks based on the best WNBA odds.

The Indiana Fever (5-10) and Washington Mystics (2-12) features two teams with some of the longest WNBA championship odds. Both teams have won consecutive games entering Wednesday's matchup at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. ET on NBA TV.

The Fever are 4.5-point favorites to beat the Mystics following their narrow 85-83 victory in the first meeting between the teams on June 7, according to our best sportsbooks. Both the Fever and Mystics have won two of their last three games since, with their only losses against one of the league's top squads.

Mystics vs. Fever predictions for Wednesday

Mystics +4.5 ⭐⭐⭐

When these teams met two weeks ago, they were easily the worst teams in the WNBA. But they both look like different squads just a short time later.

The Fever have been on a roll as of late, winning four of six games in June to slowly climb up the standings in the East. The biggest difference has been the emergence of Aliyah Boston, though Caitlin Clark has elevated her game in key moments, too.

None of it compares to the turnaround we've seen from the Mystics, who have shaken off an 0-12 start with two straight wins over the Atlanta Dream and Chicago Sky. It helped to have Brittney Sykes back in a limited role, but Ariel Atkins has led the way for a team that finally seems to be playing with confidence.

The Fever won by just two points when they last met, and that came behind a 30-piece from Clark, who hasn't been able to sustain that level of play. I would like Washigton's chances more if Sykes (foot) were suiting up, but with a five-day layoff between games, the Mystics should be able to keep this one close, too.

Aliyah Boston Over 14.5 points ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

What more does Boston need to do to earn the respect of our best sports betting apps? The reigning Rookie of the Year has clearly turned a corner as a lead option for the Fever, scoring 14-plus in three straight games with a combined 46 points in her last two games.

That's come amid an obvious increase in volume for last year's No. 1 pick. After averaging 10 field-goal attempts in her first 12 starts, she's taken 15 shots per game over her last three starts while shooting 57.8% from the field.

I'm similarly compelled to bet Over 9.5 rebounds at identical +105 odds via bet365, as she's grabbed 12 or more rebounds in each of those three starts, but this feels like an easier bar to clear given her elevated shot volume. With these odds paying out a $10.50 profit for every $10 wagered, this is my favorite bet for this matchup.

Caitlin Clark player props vs. Mystics

Caitlin Clark Under 17.5 points ⭐⭐⭐

Anyone who's followed our picks all season long is plenty familiar with us fading Clark's points prop. There's a reason for it: it usually cashes.

Through 15 starts, Clark has cleared this total in seven of them but just twice in her last six starts. She scored 23 points in Sunday's win over the Sky, but she took just 11 shots for the second straight game and needed nearly 37 minutes to get there.

Clark's shot volume has taken a clear dip amid Boston's resurgence, and while she posted her most efficient game of the season (7-for-11) on Sunday, a return to her typical output would leave her short of this number once again.

It's hard to project unwavering confidence in this bet given Clark's talent and propensity for popping off on a random weekday, but the smart bet here is to continue to fade the rookie at this lofty mark.

Best odds: -106 via FanDuel

Caitlin Clark Under 2.5 threes ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Whenever I fade Clark as a scorer, I tend to have my eyes on this bet, as well. And these odds are the best we've seen in a while.

Yes, Clark hit three 3-pointers in Sunday's win over the Sky. But she had fallen short of this mark in her previous two games and four of her previous five, and she's gone Under this total eight times in 15 starts (53.3%).

Given that these odds carry an implied probability of 46.30%, per our odds converter, that's one heck of a value on paper for a prop that pays an $11.60 profit on a $10 wager.
