Tuesday’s Best WNBA Picks & Bets: Fever vs. Sun

Indiana Fever at Connecticut Sun WNBA Picks
The Fever wrapped up a five-game home stand on Sunday with a blowout of Dallas. It has been hard to pin down this Fever team all year. Caitlin Clark has missed a good amount of games with various injuries, but even with her in the lineup, they've been inconsistent. A big reason is the 28.9% Clark is shooting from deep this year. She is both making and taking one fewer three-pointer per game than last year.
For Connecticut, they aren't equipped to provide a threat to Fever shooters. They allow 34.9% shooting from beyond the arc, and 37.4% of opponents' field goal attempts are from that range, both numbers in the top half of the league. In the two matchups between these two teams, the Fever have shot 41.9% from deep.
Connecticut doesn’t have the offensive firepower to keep up with Indiana if they get going offensively. Connecticut does have the league's worst effective field goal rate (eFG%) and a near-top turnover rate. The last game between these two, the number opened around here and got up to -18. The Fever looked poised to cover until some skirmishes broke out late that awarded the Sun free throws to keep it closer. I think the Fever have had this game circled on the calendar and will look to put together their first regular-season three-game win streak of the year and cover this massive number.
Pick: Fever -15.5 (-110)
