Connecticut @ Indiana Picks & Props

The Connecticut Sun have had a difficult time on the road this year, going just 1-4 away from home. That only win, incidentally, came against the Indiana Fever while Clark was out of the lineup. The Sun have already failed to cover once as an 18-point underdog this month in New York, and have lost five of their last nine games by 20+ points. I’m usually loathe to give up this many points in professional basketball, but the Sun are getting blown out on a regular basis. They rank last in both offensive rating (90.3) and defensive rating (112.2), and are losing by an average of 16.9 points per game. On the road against a powerhouse offense, I’m not sure how many points I’d need to feel confident in the Sun. Certainly, 17.5 isn’t enough, which is why I’m taking the Fever to cover.

Choosing the Under here isn’t a knock on the second-year star, but on the fact the Connecticut Sun are one of the worst teams in the WNBA. Connecticut has a league-worst point differential. Clark will be prominent but won’t need to go supernova and may even wind up resting when the game gets out of hand.
