Caitlin Clark Over 22.5 points

Caitlin Clark is averaging a career-best 24.5 points while taking 18.3 shots per tilt. She’s scored 23+ points in two of four games and gets a phenomenal matchup with the Fire tonight.

The Fire have been true to their name, allowing opposing scorers to get hot against them. Portland has surrendered the third-most points and second-most 3-pointers while allowing opponents to shoot 50.6% from the floor.

Both the Fever and Fire rank Top 6 in opponent field goal attempts, so Clark should get up plenty of shots on her way to another big scoring performance.

Paige Bueckers Over 1.5 3-pointers

Chicago boasts the top defensive rating in the W, and they’ve allowed the fewest points per game. The Sky lean into their interior defense, and Dallas will need to take advantage of outside shooting opportunities.

Chicago is only slightly above average in perimeter defense, surrendering the seventh-most triples. Paige Bueckers has been white-hot from beyond the arc, knocking down 10 of 16 from distance.

The superstar guard has canned multiple treys in three straight contests, and I expect her to extend that streak against a Sky team giving up 24.5 3-point attempts per tilt.

Gabriela Jaquez Over 12.5 points

The rookie has made an immediate impact, averaging 12.5 points per game. With Chicago’s leading scorer, Rickea Jackson, out for the season with a torn ACL, Gabriela Jaquez will see a bump in scoring chances.

Jaquez finished with 13 points against the Mercury, but she topped that with 20 points against the Lynx, picking up for Jackson after she got injured.

Jaquez can attack and draw contact, and she attempted 14 free throws across her last two games. Dallas ranks 12th in defensive rating and has surrendered the third-most free throw attempts.

Jaquez should easily clear this scoring line tonight.
