Fever vs. Sun
Under 159.5
Connecticut Sun totals have gone under in five straight games, and the Indiana Fever will probably have steam on the total following Caitlin Clark's 30-point performance.
Her over/under is 19.5, which I gave a look (at the under) at, but I'd rather take the under for the total.
The Sun are the best defense in the WNBA and haven't allowed more than 84 points in a game.
They themselves have gone over and under 80 five times each. They're middle of the road in offense.
So, give me that under.
Pick: Under 159.5
Over 158.5
The Connecticut Sun will try to bounce back from their first defeat when they host the Indiana Fever on Monday.
Connecticut, initially favored at -8.5, has seen a significant shift in betting odds, now being bet up as high as a 12.5-point favorite.
As a result, if the thought was to expect a positive reaction from the Sun coming off their loss, you’ve lost some value at the current number.
However, the total offers more intrigue, since it opened at 160.5. Some sportsbooks adjusted their number to 161, while others opted to drop it as low as 158.5.
Per WNBA.com, Indiana ranks sixth in pace with 81.12 possessions per 40 minutes.
When facing teams that rank in the league's top half in pace, the total is 3-1 to the over in Connecticut games this season.
Another thing that makes the over intriguing is the Fever’s inability to play defense without fouling.
In addition to being at the bottom of the league in defensive efficiency, Indiana ranks 11th in free throws (20.3) allowed per game. Thus, opposing teams get plenty of scoring opportunities from the foul line with the clock turned off.
Considering that Connecticut ranks third in free-throw attempts (19.9 per game) and when you factor in Indiana’s pace and defense, we have the perfect recipe for this game to go over the total of 158.5.
Pick: Over 158.5
