Mitchell has made the first bucket for the Fever in two of their four games and is always a live option to open scoring, with an ability to get to the rim or knock down a spot-up triple. This is a nice price considering she’s Indiana’s top offensive threat. Thank the "Clark effect" for these wonky odds.

Her playmaking has seen the biggest uptick the last two outings, recording 10 assists in each of those showings. Portland’s defense is a work in progress, currently sitting second last in defensive rating, while allowing foes to connect for a WNBA-high 25 assists per game and an insane 76% assist rate. Given the double-digit spread and 180+ Over/Under, Clark will have plenty of passing potential tonight.

This is a nice price for Ogunbowale, who scored the first bucket in the Wings’ last game and can be the visitors’ ticket to a fast start. Plus, I’m factoring in a bigger share of the shot volume tonight. Ogunbowale had 15 shots in each of Dallas’ first two contests but has taken 21 total shots in her past two outings.

She also led by example in the Wings’ season opener at a rowdy Gainbridge Fieldhouse. There should be a similar vibe at Wintrust Arena tonight, as Chicago heads home after four straight road games, and Ogunbowale’s experience will be key for the visitors.

The Dallas Wings have clear playoff potential this year, and they showed that upside in a 92-69 beatdown against the Washington Mystics on Monday. That spells trouble here for the Chicago Sky.

Paige Bueckers and Co. covered the spread on the road in Indiana in their season opener, and the visitors have scored 86+ points in three of their four contests this year. It’s hard to see Chicago keeping up without Jackson, Azura Stevens and Courtney Vandersloot. Though the Sky have had the upper hand in this matchup in recent years, they were 7-10 ATS as home underdogs last year.

The Sun feed Brittney Griner in the post early and often, and with Connecticut desperately needing offensive momentum against a Seattle team that just handled them on the road, expect the ball to find Griner immediately after she wins the opening tip.

Seattle already beat Connecticut 89-82 on the road earlier this season and now gets the rematch at home. Even without leading scorer Dominique Malonga, the Storm should find success against a Sun team allowing 95.4 points per game while opponents shoot 51.3% from the field. Connecticut has also struggled badly to protect the paint, making Seattle a strong outright play at home.
