Caitlin Clark is the WNBA’s biggest star and her phenomenon has reached a level we have never seen in women’s sports.
Yes, the league has other athletes who move the needle, particularly Angel Reese, but Clark is in a class by hers꧙elf — and the talent has also arrived around her.
She dominated the fina🀅l month of her rookie season to earn All-WNBA First Team honors and finish fourth in the MVP voting.
The Indiana Fever enter her second year among the championship favorites, as I💞ndy opens the regular season Saturday as a 7.5-p♔oint home favorite over Reese and the Chicago Sky.
Indiana improved drasticall💟y this offseason and now starts four All-Stars from last yﷺear, as well as Natasha Howard (17.6 ppg last season).
The Fever also s🀅trength♉ened their bench by adding Sophie Cunningham and Brianna Turner.
I think Indiana wins and covers, but my favorite play is a✱ prop involving Clark’s assists.
The Fever started out sluggish last year for a variety of r𓃲easons, but Clark and her teammates were able to recharge during the Olympic break to close with an 18-11 record and make the postseason.
🅺I think that version of Clark is more indica𝄹tive of what we see this year.
She posted double-digit assists in 12 of her final 22 games and now has a much better supporting cast. Thatꦗ means teammate😼s won’t fumble passes that could lead to buckets and open shooters will knock down jumpers.

Clark🐭 will certainly score a good amount and hit some absurdly long 3-pointers, but she now 🗹plays on a legitimate contender.
She understands the importance of getting her teammat🥀es involved, especially the veterans.
I have a 42-36-1 ATS record in this Post section.
My next play is Clark Over💝 ꧙9.5 assists in the season opener.
BET: Caitlin Clark Over 9.5 assists (-110, BetMGM Sportsbook)
