Caitlin Clark will try to break out of a season-long shooting slump Tuesday when the Indiana Fever battle the Connecticut Sun. Tipoff for this WNBA contest is set for 8 p.m. ET and the game will air on ESPN. Clark has shot just 37.4% from the floor this season but she did go 6-of-12 overall and 4-of-6 from 3-point land in her lone meeting against the Sun, finishing with 20 points and six assists in a Fever win where three players got ejected in the final minute. Will Clark repeat that performance or will Connecticut spring an upset as a 15.5-point underdog?

In the 2023 WNBA season, they finished 238-185-1 (+29.5 units).

Here are Barzilai and Wetzel's top Fever-Sun picks for Tuesday, July 15:

  • Fever -15.5
  • Over 165

Fever -15.5

Indiana seems to finally have things rolling lately, and given that they've started to click without even needing explosive scoring performances from Caitlin Clark, that's a scary sign for opponents.

This will be their first road game in over two weeks, but against the lowly Sun, the Fever might still have more fans in the stands. Connecticut's current net rating would be the second-worst in league history, behind only the 1998 Mystics, so you can feel confident in fading them even at a high number.

Fever/Sun Over 165

If there's one thing the Sun are worse at than offense, it's defense. They gave up 83 points to the Fever earlier this year even without Caitlin Clark on the floor, and they just gave up 92 to the Sparks in their last game.

Indiana's offense is humming right along, and between spreads, overs, and team total overs, the Fever have cashed three straight bets for us here. There's no reason to bet on regression in this matchup, so take the over along with the spread—or run back the team total over.
