Fever vs. Mystics Prediction
I like Caitlin Clark to score 25+ points tonight at +102. Clark has been an inconsistent scorer in September but I like getting plus odds on this prop play tonight. She was held to 16 points and 18 points, respectively, in back-to-back games versus the Aces last week. That said, Las Vegas has a stronger defense than Washington and Clark just went off for 35 points versus Dallas on Sunday. In matchups against non-Las Vegas opponents, Clark has 31, 28, 24, 25, 26 and 35 points since August 30.
