The Friday Night action in the WNBA has the biggest draw in the town, Caitlin Clark! CC returned in the last game against the Golden State Valkyries. The return was rather underwhelming as her Indiana Fever (9-10) lost 61-80 in another sub-par performance.
Clark contributed 10 points, 6 assists, and 5 rebounds in another undercooked performance. The Fever superstar is having a rough season thus far. Can she recover from her woes as the Fever takes on the Atlanta Dream?
Either the league has figured out how to guard CC, or she is struggling with her groin. Or maybe it is one of the familiar struggles every professional athlete goes through. Clark is 17/59 over the last four games.
Her 3/28 performance from the three-point line in these games has been awful, too. As a result, her averages are down to 17.4 PPG compared to 19.2 last season. Her FG% is down from 41.7% to 38.6% clip.
Her three-pointers are down from 3.1 to 2.5/game (34.4% last season, 30.1% now). The trends are concerning, but I see her bouncing back here and will opt to go “Over” on both points and three-pointers.
Here is an overview of Caitlin Clark props
| Category | BetMGM Odds |
| O 18.5 points | -105 |
| O 2.5 3-pointers | -120 |
| O 8.5 assists | +100 |
| Points+ Assists O 26.5 | -125 |
While her scoring is down, CC has continued to be a major playmaking presence. She dished 6 in the last game, but has had 9 or more helpers in seven of her 10 appearances. Thus, I expect her to go “over” the mark here in terms of assists. Her assists numbers are up from 8.4 to 8.6 APG this season.
On the other hand, Clark has been a decent rebounder, too. Remember, she had a triple-double to begin the season. CC has pulled down 5 or more boards in six of the ten games. However, I’d rather put a stake on rebounds either way.
CC’s cumulative stats have been fantastic throughout the season. Her points+rebounds+assists average reads as 29. The guard has been below her season average of 29 in four of the last five games. As for the combo stats, I’d like to opt for the points+assists here to be on the safe side.
Caitlin Clark Combo (Pts+Asts) Stats: O 26.5 for -125

nba Hi, I am Shubham. I am currently an NBA Predictions Writer on The Playoffs. I enjoy this job because it helps keep me in the loop about the game I love while fulfilling the pleasure I derive from stats. I got into NBA writing through social media interactions in the mid-2010s as I shared my takes on young talents such as D’Angelo Russell. I hope you enjoy reading my pieces as much as Dennis Rodman loved rebounding the basketball!
