Indiana Fever +1.5 on the Line (-256)

The Indiana Fever are on a roll, winning 7 of their last 10 games and outscoring teams by an average of over 6 points recently. They've been strong at home, and they're up against the Washington Mystics, who have also won 6 of their last 10 but only come out 4.6 points ahead in their recent games. With the Fever allowing a similar number of three-point attempts as the Mystics, this matchup feels tight. However, the Fever's recent form gives them a good chance to cover the spread.

Kiki Iriafen Under 9.5 Rebounds (+110)

The Indiana Fever are on a nice run, winning 7 of their last 10 games. They've been good at grabbing boards too, allowing opponents to shoot a lot of threes, which can sometimes lead to fewer rebounding chances. Kiki Iriafen, on the Fever, might find it tougher with the Mystics also allowing a decent number of three-point shots. Betting on Kiki to grab under 9.5 rebounds seems reasonable here. The game is rated like a coin flip, meaning it could really go either way. The biggest risk is how close the two teams are in rebounding stats, making it hard to predict exactly how many boards she'll pull down tonight. 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 has this as a long shot, so keep the stake small.

Sonia Citron Under 21.5 Points and Assists (-110)

Sonia Citron has been playing well lately, but she might struggle to hit the mark in this matchup. Both teams have been solid, with Indiana Fever winning 7 of their last 10 games and coming out ahead by over 6 points on average. However, Citron's scoring and assisting could be limited, especially since opponents have been allowed to shoot a lot of threes, and both teams have similar defensive stats. The biggest risk with this pick is how closely matched these teams are. The Washington Mystics have also won 6 of their last 10 and have been tough on defense. With both teams allowing similar three-point attempts, it could be a challenge for Citron to rack up the points and assists needed to go over 21.5. Still, our numbers suggest a good chance for the under. It was priced at -110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.10 if it lands. The bookmakers have this as a slight favourite.

Caitlin Clark Under 13.5 Rebounds and Assists (-109)

Caitlin Clark from the Indiana Fever is facing off against the Washington Mystics, and she's been having a good run lately. However, both teams have been letting their opponents shoot a lot of three-pointers, which can mean fewer chances for rebounds and assists. Indiana has won seven of their last ten games and has been solid overall, but Clark's numbers suggest she might not hit the mark on this bet. This pick is for under 13.5 rebounds and assists combined. The matchup is pretty close, and while Clark has been strong, the Mystics' defense might limit her opportunities. The most concrete risk here is that both teams are allowing similar amounts of three-point attempts, which can lead to fewer rebounds. It's a bit of a toss-up, but this could be a smart bet based on how things have been going. It was priced at -109 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.20 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.
