Under 178.5 Total Points (+110)

Odds available at Fanatics at time of publishing

The Connecticut Sun have struggled lately, winning only 3 out of their last 10 games. They also give up a lot of rebounds, averaging 32.2 per game, which could hurt their chances of scoring. Since 2019, they've allowed opponents to shoot a lot of threes, but their defense might tighten up in this matchup. Our numbers suggest a total combined score of around 171.7, which makes betting on under 178.5 look solid. The biggest risk is that both teams can surprise with their scoring, but it feels like a smart play here. It was priced at +110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $21 if it lands. This is an alternate line, so it is not the main number on the board and the price moves with it. This one is priced as an outside chance. Our model leans this way without loving it. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it. And if this one does not feel right to you, skipping it is a perfectly good move.

Connecticut Sun +25.5 on the Line (-303)

The Indiana Fever have been struggling, and they face a tough challenge against the Connecticut Sun. The Sun have had a rough time recently, winning only 3 of their last 10 games, but they've shown they can keep opponents from rebounding well. The Fever might struggle to close the gap, especially since the Sun are a strong favorite in this matchup. Betting on the Sun to win by at least 25.5 points could pay off, but keep in mind that the Fever are at home and could surprise. It was priced at -303 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $13.30 if it lands. The number next to the team is the handicap, and that team's score is adjusted by it before the bet is settled. This is an alternate line, so it is not the main number on the board and the price moves with it. The bookmakers have this as a clear favourite. Our model likes this one a lot. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it. And if this one does not feel right to you, skipping it is a perfectly good move.

Caitlin Clark Under 8.5 Assists (+110)

Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing

Caitlin Clark has been struggling to rack up assists lately, which is why betting on her to get under 8.5 assists looks good. The Connecticut Sun have allowed fewer assists than most teams, giving up around 21.7 three-point attempts per game, which suggests they might focus on defending the perimeter. This could make it tougher for Clark to find open teammates for easy shots. Additionally, the Sun are pretty solid on the boards, giving up only 32.2 rebounds a game, which means there might not be as many second-chance opportunities for assists. The most concrete risk here is that Clark could have a surprising breakout game, but right now, the numbers really favor this pick. It was priced at +110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $21 if it lands. This one is priced as an outside chance. Our model leans this way without loving it.

Diamond Miller Under 1.5 Three-Pointers Made (-111)

Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing

Diamond Miller has struggled with three-point shooting lately, which is key for this bet. The Connecticut Sun have allowed opponents to shoot a lot of threes, but Miller hasn't been able to take advantage. With her team not relying heavily on her from beyond the arc, I think she'll have a tough time hitting the mark. Miller has only attempted a few threes recently and is not expected to change that significantly. The most concrete risk is that she could surprise everyone and knock down a couple, especially if the game gets fast-paced. However, given how things have been going for her, betting on her to make fewer than 1.5 three-pointers makes sense for this matchup against the Fever. It was priced at -111 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.00 if it lands. The bookmakers have this as a slight favourite. Our model leans this way without loving it. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it. And if this one does not feel right to you, skipping it is a perfectly good move.

Kelsey Mitchell Over 4.5 Rebounds and Assists (-112)

Odds available at BetOnline at time of publishing

For Kelsey Mitchell to go over 4.5 rebounds and assists tonight, she needs to stay active on both ends of the court. The Connecticut Sun have struggled with rebounding, giving up about 32 boards a game, which could help her grab a few. Plus, they let opponents shoot plenty of threes, meaning there could be more missed shots for her to collect. However, she has been known to have quieter games, and that's the biggest risk here. Still, our numbers suggest she has a good chance to hit this mark. It was priced at -112 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $18.90 if it lands. This is an alternate line, so it is not the main number on the board and the price moves with it. The bookmakers have this as a slight favourite. Our model leans this way without loving it. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it. And if this one does not feel right to you, skipping it is a perfectly good move.

That is how our model reads Indiana Fever v Connecticut Sun. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back anything. And if a game does not feel right to you, the strongest move is to skip it -- there is another one tomorrow.
