🏆 Who will win Mystics vs. Fever?
Indiana is built to win high-scoring games with its three-headed monster of Clark, Aliyah Boston, and Kelsey Mitchell, while Washington's youth could struggle to keep up on the road in one of the toughest environments to play in the W.
Score prediction: Fever 90, Mystics 80
💰 Mystics vs. Fever prediction & best bet
Fever -7.5 (-110)
Indiana couldn't contain the Dallas Wings' offense in its season opener, but bounced back in a big way on the road Wednesday against the Los Angeles Sparks. And two games in, one thing is clear: with Clark healthy, the Fever want to lean on their offense and push the pace.
Indiana is No. 2 in the W in offensive rating (111.7) and pace (84.0), and should expose a Washington defense whose numbers are boosted from playing the Toronto Tempo in their first-ever game.
Washington struggled to contain the New York Liberty in their second game and allowed 98 points.
🔥 Best Mystics vs. Fever player prop bet
Caitlin Clark Over 19.5 points (-113)
Even with Clark still struggling with turnovers and sporadic shooting from behind the arc, the former No. 1 pick is putting up All-Star numbers two games into her third season. She's No. 6 in the WNBA in PPG (22.0) and benefiting from outrageous usage numbers.
Clark is fourth in the league in field-goal attempts per game (17.5), fifth in 3-point attempt (8.0), and second in usage rate (34.4%). So, even when her shot isn't falling consistently, Clark is a threat to go for 20-plus points - she has already in both games this season.
In the Mystics' loss to the Liberty, they gave up a combined 43 points to the guard combo of Marine Johannes and Pauline Astier.
🚀 Mystics vs. Fever same-game parlay
The Fever are an offense-first team with Mitchell, who leads the W in PPG (26.5), and Clark. Those two should give Washington's defense all kinds of problems and win a high-scoring game at home.
