After sitting out a pair of games, Caitlin Clark is back in the lineup tonight when the Indiana Fever take on a shorthanded Sparks squad in Los Angeles.
It’s an absolute powerhouse matchup for her return, and our top Fever vs. Sparks predictions are capitalizing by hammering three distinct player props for the Fever superstar tonight.
Read on in my WNBA picks to see how I’m shaping a +525 SGP focused on Clark scoring and facilitating at a high level to lead Indiana to a convincing victory.
- UPDATE: Added Caitlin Clark prop!
Fever vs Sparks prediction
Fever vs Sparks best bet: Caitlin Clark Over 16.5 points (-110)
Caitlin Clark’s latest injury has likely driven this scoring line down, but the market is severely mispriced, as she’s failed to score 17+ in just three of 17 games while averaging 21.2 points. Her scoring prop is set lower than both Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston, offering plenty of value.
The Los Angeles Sparks have allowed the most points per game (93.6) and sport the league’s worst defensive rating (113.5). Over the last three games, they’ve surrendered a whopping 318 points.
This line should be closer to 19.5, and that’s how far I’d play it.

Fever vs Sparks same-game parlay
At 44%, Caitlin Clark leads the W in assist percentage among players averaging 20+ minutes per game. Her 8.2 assists per game trail only Alyssa Thomas’ 8.4 for the league lead, and she’s dished 7+ in 13 of 17 appearances. Play this up to 7.5.
The Sparks have been outscored by 13.4 points per game in seven games without Kelsey Plum this season. They’ve dropped three straight by 18+ points, including a blowout loss to the lowly Seattle Storm. The Sparks are a league-worst 6-13 ATS, and I’ll back the Fever to cover up to -9.5.
Fever vs Sparks SGP
- Caitlin Clark Over 16.5 points
- Caitlin Clark Over 6.5 assists
- Fever -6.5
Fever vs Sparks player prop pick
Caitlin Clark Over 1.5 threes (-140)
Just like her scoring line, Clark’s 3-point line is far too low to ignore. The 3-point specialist ranks third in the W in 3-point makes at 2.8, and she’s knocked down multiple treys in all but four of her 17 appearances.
The Sparks have surrendered 9.4 made triples to opponents, good for the second-most in the W, and I’ll bet this value prop down to -160 at 1.5 or take it at longer odds up to 2.5, where it should be priced.
