[gameheader haspick=”true” picktext=”Caitlin Clark Over 31.5 Points + Assists” league=”wnba” awaylogo=”https://assets.actionnetwork.com/459836_Sparks.png” awayname=”Los Angeles Sparks” homelogo=”https://images.actionnetwork.com/blog/2023/07/indiana-fever-updated-logo-2023.png” homename=”Indiana Fever” date=”Wednesday, Sept. 4″ time=”7 p.m. ET” network=”CBS Sports Network” bookname=”bet365″ bookprimarylogo=”https://assets.actionnetwork.com/859377_Bet365@1x.png” bookreviewslug=”bet365″][/gameheader]
Caitlin Clark has gone over this line in two straight games and in four-of-seven since the break (five-of-eight total).
She’s playing against the Los Angeles Sparks, one of the worst defenses in the WNBA.
Moreover, Clark has dominated with this prop at home, going over 31.5 points + assists in six of her last eight games in Indiana.
She’s rolling, the team’s rolling and the Sparks have a bottom-three WNBA defense, including allowing the second-most points in the paint, which will be great for the assists number, in particular.
Clark also has a 30-point game against the Sparks at home already this season, and that was in May before she got her much-needed month off. That was also still within weeks of her rookie season starting.
Pick: Caitlin Clark Over 31.5 Points + Assists

[gameheader haspick=”true” picktext=”Over 174.5″ league=”wnba” awaylogo=”https://assets.actionnetwork.com/459836_Sparks.png” awayname=”Los Angeles Sparks” homelogo=”https://images.actionnetwork.com/blog/2023/07/indiana-fever-updated-logo-2023.png” homename=”Indiana Fever” date=”Wednesday, Sept. 4″ time=”7 p.m. ET” network=”CBS Sports Network” bookname=”DraftKings ” bookprimarylogo=”https://assets.actionnetwork.com/477013_DraftKings@1x.png” bookreviewslug=”draftkings”][/gameheader]
The totals market in Fever games has been incredibly difficult to price for the sportsbooks. They’re playing at a blistering pace, and it’s changing the way their opponents play.
Over the last five games, the Fever have played the Wings, Sky, Sun, Dream and Lynx. It’s notable that in all five matchups the total has increased from the opening line.
It’s also notable that the Sky, Sun and Lynx are teams I look to back unders with, but these became over spots.
Backing opening overs in Fever games is a good strategy right now. Here we have a total that opened at 170.5 and already ticked up to 174.5, but I still would play this for a half-unit because the Sparks have been a pace-up team since the All Star break.
With a total in the low-to-mid 170s, the pace and sheer possessions should create enough of an opportunity. It doesn’t require above-average efficiency, making this a playable spot.
Pick: Over 174.5
