Alright, sports bettors and Caitlin Clark aficionados, buckle up. After a less-than-inspiring Game 1 (where Clark’s jump shot decided to take a well-timed vacation), the betting odds for Game 2 against the Connecticut Sun are spicier than ever. But hey, it’s Clark we’re talking about—she may have shot bricks last time, but the comeback kid has a habit of heating up when the pressure’s on.
So, what’s the top prop on the menu for Wednesday’s redemption game? Clark’s 7.5 assists line is sizzling with potential, and the odds are ripe for the picking. The sportsbooks love a bit of unpredictability, and Caitlin Clark might just sprinkle in some court magic—assuming she’s recovered from the Game 1 shooting catastrophe.
But before we dive too deep, let’s address the elephant in the room. Clark’s odds to stay under 20.5 points are juiced to -145 after her glorious 11-point showing on 4/17 shooting in Game 1. Those poor basketballs—someone check if the rims are okay.
The Points Prop You Can’t Ignore… Or Maybe You Should?
Let’s face it, folks: Clark isn’t going to clank 77% of her shots every game. At least, we hope not. The Sun’s defense did an admirable job limiting her in Game 1, but the law of averages suggests a bounce back is looming on the horizon like a perfectly swished three-pointer. However, the under is still favored (-145), probably because Connecticut has been living rent-free in Clark’s scoring column—she’s failed to crack 20.5 points against them in all five of their matchups this year.
For the eternal optimists (or risk-loving bettors), the over is listed at +110. If you believe in redemption arcs, this could be the time to shine—just like Clark’s jumper might under the pressure of an elimination game.
Clark’s Assist Prop: The Safer Bet
Sure, scoring points is glamorous, but distributing the rock is where Caitlin Clark has been making waves lately. She averaged 8 assists in Game 1, even as her shooting percentage wandered into “what happened?!” territory. Vegas gives her a modest 7.5 assists line with balanced odds at -115 for both the over and under. Want a prop bet that’s been as consistent as Clark’s pre-game playlist? This one’s for you.
She’s cleared the 7.5 assists line in 9 of her last 10 games, and for those keeping track (who isn’t?), she’s topped it in 20 of her last 25 contests. That’s practically a sure thing in betting, folks. The only way she misses this mark is if her teammates suddenly decide to pull a disappearing act. Then again, we all know how reliable Clark is when it comes to setting up her squad.
Three-Point Explosion Incoming? (Or Not)
Now, for the fireworks. Caitlin Clark and three-pointers go together like peanut butter and jelly—or at least, they usually do. Game 1? Not so much. Shooting 2/13 from deep was a new low even for Clark, who typically knocks down 3.1 of her 8.9 attempts per game. The bad news: it was ugly. The good news: +140 odds for Clark to hit over 3.5 threes in Game 2 are practically begging you to throw down some cash.
Sure, it’s a gamble, but sports betting isn’t about playing it safe. It’s about the thrill of watching Clark casually pull up from the logo and drain a bomb from downtown, making you feel like the smartest person in the room. Just imagine her unleashing a barrage of threes that make the rim sing after that painful Game 1. You might just be counting your winnings before the final buzzer.
Final Thoughts: Can Clark Cash In?
The Indiana Fever enter Game 2 as 6-point underdogs to the Sun, with +235 odds to keep their season alive. Let’s be real, the Fever will need Clark to channel her inner superhero if they want to pull off the upset. And who knows? Maybe that 4/17 shooting performance was just a warm-up for the real show. Either way, the props on Caitlin Clark offer more than enough intrigue to keep you glued to your screens—and, of course, your sportsbook app.
Will we witness a Clark scoring explosion or an assist-filled masterclass? Only one way to find out—place your bets and enjoy the ride. Just make sure you’ve got some popcorn ready.
Remember, it’s Caitlin Clark. Anything can happen.
