Sparks vs Fever odds
| Team | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
|---|---|---|---|

Sparks vs. Fever: Caitlin Clark prop
Since the break, Clark has been virtually unstoppable, and it’s no coincidence the Fever have amassed a 6-1 record in that span.
Clark has averaged 24.6 points, 9.0 assists and 5.0 rebounds per game on a ridiculous 48/39/92 shooting split. That kind of efficiency on ꧟the volume that Clark commands is rare.
Meanwhile, the Sparks are 3-18 in their past 21 games. W꧅oof.
Since June 28, they’re 11th in defensive rating, trailing only the Dallas Wings, who play matador-like defense. The Sparks have also allowed opponents to knock down the highest percentage from behind the arc during that time.
Needless to say, this bodes well for the sharpshooting Clark, who༒ has hit close to four out 🔯of 10 attempts from deep per game. She has been over her 3-point prop line in seven consecutive games, and this one should be no different.
Pick: Caitlin Clark over 3.5 made 3s (+122, FanDuel)
Sparks vs. Fever prediction
How good have the Fe༒ver been since returning from break?
In that span, Indiಌana has ranked second in offensive rating (111.0), third in net rating (+9.0), second in effective field goal percentage and fourth in defensive rebounding percentage.
Further, the Fever have♚ held opponents to the lowest points in the paint average in the W.
Indiana has still not improved in one area since returning from the break, and that’s defending the 3-point line.
In fact, the Fever rank 10th in that stretch in opponent 3-point percentage, allowing teams to hit 37.3% of their attempts. That is not a long-term recipe for success, regardless of how well Indiana’s offense has performed.
Here’s the good news: Los Angeles ranks ninth in the league in 3-point percentage on the seventh-most attempts this season. Through the past 13 games, the Sparks h🎀ave been even worse, shoot༒ing the second-lowest percentage from deep.
