As the WNBA playoffs heat up like a microwave burrito, the Indiana Fever are set to take on the Connecticut Sun in a much-anticipated Game 2 showdown at Mohegan Sun Arena this Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. ET. Spoiler alert: if you’re betting your life savings on this one, you might want to reconsider, as the odds are more favorable for the Sun, who have a 74% chance of snagging a win.
Caitlin Clark: The Fever’s Secret Weapon (or Is She?)
Fresh off a playoff debut that had fans clutching their pearls and checking their pulse, Caitlin Clark is projected to lead the Fever with a cool 21 points, 7 assists, and 5 rebounds. But let’s be real; if she doesn’t bring her A-game this time around, those projections will turn into a Cinderella story gone wrong. We’re not sure if her last performance was a case of stage fright or just a bad hair day, but she better make those shots count.
Meanwhile, Dimers’ crystal ball reveals that the Sun aren’t just rolling out the red carpet; they’re bringing the whole red carpet committee. With an impressive prediction of 74% in favor of Connecticut, the Sun are expected to bask in the glory of victory—unless, of course, Clark pulls off a miracle and leads the Fever to the upset of the century.

Now, let’s get to the juicy part—the predicted box scores! The Fever will be counting on Clark’s dazzling offensive flair, while Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston are expected to contribute with 17 and 14 points, respectively. But don’t think they’re the only ones putting on a show. The Sun’s Marina Mabrey, Brionna Jones, and DeWanna Bonner are all projected to drop 15 points each like it’s nobody’s business.
