Fever vs Dream predictions
My best bet
Kelsey Mitchell Over 2.5 threes (+100 at BetRivers)
My analysis
When you think of 3-pointers on the Indiana Fever, you instantly go to the limitless range of the Caitlin Clark odds, but since returning from the Olympic break, Indiana has seen Kelsey Mitchell take over as the team’s prominent markswoman.
Mitchell has been much more active from outside the past three games, firing up a collective 31 attempts from beyond the arc after averaging just over six shots from distance per outing before the break.
She’s knocked down 13 of those long-range looks, despite going 2-for-10 from 3-point range in the loss to Minnesota on Saturday. The Fever face an Atlanta Dream defense that allows the fourth-most 3-point shots against, with those foes averaging eight makes from outside.
In the first two meetings with Atlanta this season, Mitchell went 3-for-7 and 3-for-6 from 3-point land and Monday’s player projections are calling for close to three triples again.
Her 3-point makes market is at 2.5 Over/Under with some books pricing the Over as expensive as -122. However, you can find EVEN money on Mitchell to make three or more from downtown tonight.
Far and Away
My best bet
Caitlin Clark Under 21.5 points (+100 at BetRivers)
My analysis
The Fever are quickly becoming a team no one wants to meet in the playoffs — and it’s not just because of Caitlin Clark.
Indiana’s star rookie continues to play at a high level but is getting solid support from her teammates since returning from the break. She's poured in 29, 23, and 23 points in the first three games back, sharing the scoring column with backcourt mates Kelsey Mitchell and Lexi Hull over that span.
Clark finished with 23 points on 8-for-18 shooting in the loss to the Lynx this past weekend, which was one of her higher-scoring road performances of the season. Tonight’s trip to Atlanta hands Clark a scoring total of 21.5 points Over/Under — a number she’s topped only four times in her previous 16 away games.
The former Iowa star has seen a significant split between home and away shooting success, averaging just shy of 20 points on 44% success from the field inside Gainbridge Fieldhouse vs. 16.6 points per road game on 39% shooting in foreign venues.
Player projections sit short of 22 points against the Dream, with my number coming out to just north of 19 points from Clark tonight. While she’s grown tremendously as a player since her first two meetings with Atlanta back in June, Clark managed 16 and seven points in those games, shooting a combined 9-for-23 from the floor.
Clark is fully capable of going off for big buckets but with her teammates heating up, she may not have to.
