WNBA Picks and Props for Fever at Mystics

Under 163 Points (-110)

Caitlin Clark enjoyed a hot start to the regular season, becoming the frontrunner to win WNBA MVP. However, she suffered a quadriceps injury that will keep her out for a couple of weeks. Clark now holds the second-shortest odds to win WNBA MVP (+500).

This will be the Fever's first game without Clark. Indiana is favored by only four points against one of the league's worst teams -- the Mystics. A drop in play should be expected, but what does this mean for tonight's top bets?

Even with Clark attempting 8.8 three-pointers per game, Indiana still takes the fourth-fewest three-point shots per game. Most of the Fever's scoring comes from around the rim with the most points in the paint, and it's by a wide margin as they log 47.0 compared to the second-most at 40.5.

However, Washington cedes the fewest points in the paint per game. Missing Clark's 19.0 points per game (PPG) while facing a stingy interior defense could be enough to lead to a frustrating night.

Additionally, the Mystics have the fourth-worst offensive rating while the Fever feature the third-best offensive rating. Washington's offense doesn't yield much confidence, sitting in the bottom five of points in the paint per game and three-point attempts per contest.

Natasha Howard Over 14.5 Points (-125)

As mentioned, the Fever already lean on attacking the paint. This should be even more of the case with their leading three-point shooter absent.

Natasha Howard (13.3 PPG) has taken 73.9% of her shots within eight feet of the rim. RotoWire has Howard projected for 14.6 points. We should expect an increase in usage, and Howard's shot chart goes right along with Indiana's strength of stacking points in the paint.

Howard has a good chance of getting consistent matchups against the Mystics' Kiki Iriafen, too, who has the worst defensive rating in Washington's frontcourt by a wide margin at 102.6.

When logging at least 29 minutes, Howard has reached 15 points in two of three games. The minutes should certainly be there tonight. Give me Howard for over 14.5 points.
