Best bet for Caitlin Clark’s points prop in Dallas Wings at Indiana Fever 2026 WNBA season opener

A particular OutKick investigation has revealed that the WNBA 2026 season tipped off on Friday.

But all eyes flip to Saturday’s slate that includes Caitlin Clark and her Indiana Fever internet hosting the Dallas Wings at 1 pm ET. Clark is not the one WNBA star lacing them up in this recreation.

In reality, the Wings-Fever contains the final 4 No. 1 draft picks and WNBA Rookies of the Year: Indiana C Aliyah Boston and Clark, and Dallas guards Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd, this 12 months’s first total choose.

Obviously, the Fever are additional alongside in their roster improvement for the reason that Wings have picked first in the final two drafts. Indiana misplaced to the eventual WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces 3-2 in a best-of-five sequence in the semifinals final season.

However, in an effort to shamelessly get web page views by writing about Clark, I’m specializing in her level prop for this text, which may very well be too excessive for a number of causes.

Best Bet: Indiana Fever SG Caitlin Clark UNDER 19.5 points

I do know lots of people won’t wish to hear this, however she is perhaps overrated. Granted, Clark performed solely 13 video games in her second season final 12 months, however she undoubtedly had a sophomore droop.

Clark’s area purpose share fell 50 share points (41.7%-36.7%) from her rookie to second season and her 3-point share dropped 65 points (34.4%-27.9%).

This correlates with the opposite cause Clark could fall in need of his points prop, which could make her extra of a flooring total than a scoring guard this season.

THE WNBA WON’T GROW THIS SEASON IF MEAN GIRLS AND RACE BULLIES REFUSE TO ACCEPT CAITLIN CLARK

Think about it: Indiana was one recreation from going to the 2025 WNBA Finals with out Clark and there are two different All-Stars on her workforce: Boston and PG Kelsey Mitchell.

Clark is the purpose guard; her intuition ought to be to get higher seems to be for her teammates moderately than taking on the offense.

Furthermore, she missed most of final season with an harm and obtained hurt during the preseasonso possibly Clark is rusty in the sequence opener. It’s not like she’s attacking the basket; most of his scoring comes from the perimeter.

Lastly, it is sketchy that her Over 19.5 points is plus-money at most sportsbooks. She is by far the preferred participant in the WNBA and it looks as if the sportsbooks are daring you to bet her Over.
