It’s no coincidence that Nike decided to release the first look at Caitlin Clark’s upcoming signature shoe ahead of this rivalry showdown with Angel Reese.
All eyes will be on this solo contest on tonight’s WNBA calendar between Clark’s Indiana Fever and Reese’s Atlanta Dream.
Clark & Co. won the first matchup with Atlanta earlier this month, with the standout guard scoring 17 points and dishing out seven assists, while Reese rounded up 10 rebounds and 11 points in the loss.
My Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese props focus on this feud, giving you my best WNBA picks and Dream vs. Fever predictions for June 18.

Angel Reese Under 14.5 points (-135)
Angel Reese plays a big role in the Atlanta Dream’s success, but she’s not always the top offensive option. That’s especially true in these matchups with the Indiana Fever.
Head coach Karl Smesko wants his offense to push the ball, which is why the Dream top the league in fastbreak buckets. Indiana is susceptible to that attack, allowing the third-most fastbreak points per game.
That mismatch is powered by Rhyne Howard and Allisha Gray, leaving Reese trailing and relying on her infamous “mebounds” for production. While Reese leads the Dream in overall usage at 24.5%, that metric slumped to 19.5% in the first meeting with the Fever.
She leads the WNBA in offensive rebounds and second-chance points, which is something Indiana doesn’t hand over easily. The Fever allow the third-lowest offensive rebounds, rank tops in the league in rebound rate, and give up the fewest SCP (8.5) to foes.
Since scoring just 10 points versus Indiana on June 4, Reese has topped her scoring prop in four straight outings, pumping up her point total to 14.5 O/U. Three of those games have come versus opponents ranked ninth, 13th, and 14th in SCP allowed.
Caitlin Clark Under 19.5 points (+100)
Caitlin Clark has had help snapping out of her scoring slump in recent games.
Over the past three outings, Clark has put up 21, 25, and 32 points after a five-game skid in which she failed to crack 20 points and averaged less than 14 on 32% success from the field.
A closer look at her last three games sees improved shooting (46%) but those results came against some weaker defensive foes. Indiana beat up on Chicago (8th in defensive rating), Connecticut (12th), and Toronto (13th).
Atlanta is a tougher nut to crack. The Dream are second overall in that advanced metric and held Clark to 6-for-17 shooting for 17 points in their first matchup. To Clark’s defense, she was ill and vomited at halftime of that June 4 encounter.
A big part of Clark’s recent scoring surge has been picking up points from the foul line. She went to the free-throw line 14 times versus Toronto (10 points) and was a perfect 15-for-15 on FTAs against Chicago.
The Dream get whistled for the second fewest personal fouls and send foes to the stripe just 18.6 times per game — third lowest in the WNBA. Clark was 3-for-4 from the foul line in the first clash with Atlanta.
Her scoring projections for tonight come up short of 19 points, offering a nice return at even money on the Under 19.5 points.
Caitlin Clark Over 4.5 rebounds (-130)
Clark is one of the better rebounding guards in the league and hauled in seven rebounds against the Dream on June 4.
Since then, she’s averaged 5.3 boards in her last six games after averaging only 4.0 to start the season. She’s topped her rebounding prop in four of those outings. Clark was slowed by a back injury in late May but has been healthier and logging more minutes in June.
There will be a surplus of shots between these teams, as they rank fourth and sixth in FGAs and both like to push pace.
Atlanta’s 3-point centric schemes do create plenty of long rebounds from those deep misses, which bounce past the forwards packed in the paint and into the waiting arms of opposing guards.
The Dream rank No. 1 in opponent rebounds at 29.5 per game yet 62% of those boards are recorded by rival guards.
Game models call for 5+ rebounds from Clark, while my number sits at 6.4 boards, which should have the Over 4.5 rebounds priced as high as -250.
