WNBA Player Props and Best Bets: Fever Facing Difficulties Due to Clark's Injury

For the first time since high school, Caitlin Clark will miss time due to an injury (quadriceps; two weeks). For the next two weeks, the player props for Indiana Fever games, starting with tonight’s game against the Washington Mystics, will require a different approach.

After all, with Clark out of the lineup, the team will need to adjust in some way, shape, or form—right? Let’s take a look at some of the options for tonight and our best bets for the Indiana Fever vs. Washington Mystics.

Best WNBA Prop Bets for Wednesday, May 28

Kiki Iriafen, OVER 10.5 Rebounds

Before putting your money down on this prop, do a couple of Google searches of your own; maybe you’ll see what I’m missing. Here we have a player that’s averaging 11.2 boards per game, has 12+ in four of five games, and is playing for a pretty good rebounding team.

I don’t understand why this market has plus money odds. Yes, Indiana has been great on the boards this year, but so has Washington. Losing Clark shouldn’t have too much of an impact, if any. But I still see a lot of experts going with the UNDER.

I don’t understand why, so I’m going with the obvious call, OVER 10.5 rebounds.

Kiki Iriafen, OVER 11.5 Points

I think the price here is pretty generous too (so be sure to do some research of your own in case I’m missing the obvious here). But Iriafen does most of her scoring at short range and teams have seen some success against the Fever down low.

Oh, and she’s averaging 13.8 points per game and has scored 11.5+ in three of five games. She’s good for at least 12.

Kiki Iriafen, to Record a Double-Double

If you are taking the OVER on points and rebounds, you might as well take her to get a double-double. The market has plus money odds, after all.

Aliyah Boston, OVER 9.5 Rebounds

Boston has been crashing the boards, so losing Caitlin Clark shouldn’t impact that. She recorded 10+ in three of four games and seven in the other, where she only played 23 minutes compared to 27, 37, and 36. So, playing time appears to be a key factor.

If anything, with Clark out, she’ll probably get locked into 35+ minutes a night. As long as she gets 30, she’ll pull down 10 rebounds.

Aliyah Boston, OVER 17.5 Points

Clark’s name is the one everyone wants to hear about, and while she is important to the overall success of the team, she is not the only one who produces. Clark is leading the way with 19 ppg, but she’s followed closely by Boston (18.5 ppg) and Kelsey Mitchell (17.8 ppg).

Washington is playing solid defense overall, but nothing special; they are tied with Indiana in points allowed (78.8 ppg). Losing Clark will hurt, but the team should be fine on the offensive end of the court without her.

So far, Boston has scored 19, 24, 4, and 27 points.

Aliyah Boston to Record a Double-Double

Like with Iriafen, if you believe she’ll go over her points and rebounds props, you might as well take her to record a double-double while the market still offers plus-money odds.

Kelsey Mitchell, OVER 18.5 Points

I was unsure of this one at first glance. Mitchell has recorded 18.5+ points in one of four games this season (15, 24, 17, and 15). But then I remembered how she and Clark tied for the team lead last season with 19.2 points per game.

With Mitchell, Boston, and Clark scoring 17+ points a night, there were only so many shots to go around. But with Clark out…
