For the second time in franchise history, the Connecticut Sun (3-18, 2-7 home) will ship up to Beantown and will host the Indiana Fever (11-10, 4-4 away) in Boston. Set to take place at TD Garden for the second consecutive season, Caitlin Clark and Company will face the Connecticut Sun for the third time this season.
A highly anticipated matchup ahead, the Fever and Sun will square off in a venue with a capacity of slightly over 19,000. With the regular season series split 1-1 between the two teams, Caitlin Clark is healthy and back in action. How can we forget about the chippiness between both the Sun and the Fever?
Tabbed as 15.5-point spread favorites on the road, the Fever are in the midst of a long road stretch and will host the 2025 All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis this weekend. Fresh off two victories against the Wings and Dream, Indiana gets a Connecticut team that has just three victories in the win column. Having dropped two consecutive games, the Sun are massive underdogs in Boston today.
For the late night showdown, the Los Angeles Sparks (7-14, 2-8 home) will host the Washington Mystics (11-10, 4-7 away) in LA. -125 money line favorites on the road, the Mystics are a fun, yet exciting team to watch. Having overachieved at 11-10 on the season, they face a Sparks team that's underperformed. Despite big names such as Kelsey Plum, Dearica Hamby, Azurà Stevens, and Rickea Jackson—LA has had difficulty closing out games. 2-3 in their last five games, both teams are headed in opposite directions.
| Team vs Team | Moneyline | Spread | Totals |
|---|---|---|---|
| Indiana Fever vs Connecticut Sun | -1600 / +850 | -15.5 / +15.5 | O/U 166.5 |
| Washington Mystics vs LA Sparks | -118 / -102 | -1.5 / +1.5 | O/U 164.5 |

In this article you will find my three best player prop bets and predictions for the July 15 WNBA matchups! Keeping bank roll management in mind, I practice responsible betting. With that said, I've placed each bet as separate picks within FanDuel Sportsbook.
Here are my top three best picks, which have great value!

GP: 12 | PPG: 16.7 | FG: 37.4 % | FT: 81.8 % | 3PT: 28.9 % | REB: 4.8 | AST: 9.0 | STL: 1.7 | BLK: 0.7
My first best bet for today, I placed Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark to record over 2.5 made threes against the Connecticut Sun.
Yes, I am aware Clark has been injured and limited to 12 games on the season. Also, I am aware she's shooting a career-low 28.8 percent from beyond the arc. A 5.5 percent decrease from last season, there's no question logo Caitlin Clark isn't quite back yet.
In her return, we've seen Clark as a facilitator more than anything, Especially since the Fever have an abundance of talent on the roster. Even so, I'm expecting Clark to put on a show in Boston tonight.
For +110 odds (plus money), am I really going to fade Caitlin Clark on a bigger stage? Especially in front of a anticipated sold out crowd at the TD Garden?
Since coming back from injury, Clark is averaging 25-26 minutes per game ahead of All-Star weekend. With that, she's averaged just 11 points over the last three games. With 28 assists over that span, let's not forget all three matchups have been blowouts.
Clark's July 3-point percent (27.6 %) is slightly a tad higher than her disastrous June performance (25.3 % from beyond the arc). Even so, she's managed to put up back-to-back 7.0 3PA over the last two games, and an exact seven 3-point attempts over the last five games.
With that, Clark had plenty of looks against the Dallas Wings Sunday, where she recorded 14 points on 2-7 3-point shooting. Now she get's a Connecticut Sun team that's struggled respectfully on the defensive end.
Ranked dead last in defensive rating (112.5), the Sun allow the third highest 3-point percentage (34.9 %) in the WNBA. While not the worst, opponents are still managing to put up 8.7 3pM on 24.9 3PA per game against Connecticut. Not to mention, the Sun allow the most points in the WNBA with 88.1 PPG.
Leading the Fever with 8.1 3-point attempts per game, tensions were rising in Clark's lone matchup agains the Sun on June 17. Although Marina Mabrey will sit for this one, I'm expecting another feisty matchup between Jacy Sheldon and Caitlin Clark. In Drafted in the same year, both Sheldon and Clark have been competing at a high level going back to the collegiate Big Ten days.
Even with Sheldon on her hip, Clark erupted for 20 points, one rebound, six assists, and two steals in their last matchup. Furthermore, she shot 6-12 from the field, and 4-6 from deep in 29 minutes against the Sun.
While Clark has soared under this prop line in five straight games, she's performed historically well against the Sun. Now that Connecticut is in full rebuild mode, Clark has seven 3-pointers in the two last H2H matchups.
Most recently, Kelsey Plum (3) and Skylar Diggins (3) two prominent guards who recorded over this line.
GP: 20 | PPG: 15.4 | FG: 40.3 % | FT: 87.6 % | 3PT: 21.1 % | REB: 5.4 | AST: 1.6 | STL: 0.8 | BLK: 0.3
My second best bet for today, I have Connecticut Sun center Tina Charles to record over 15.5 points against the Indiana Fever.
If there's one thing to know about Tina Charles, she's historically performed well, especially against Aliyah Boston and the Indiana Fever.
Soaring over this player prop line in five straight games, Charles is averaging 21.4 PPG over the last five head-to-head matchups against the Fever dating back to last season.
The veteran legend on a rebuilding team, Charles is back where her career started. Even though we've seen more production out of rookies Saniya Rivers, Aneesah Morrow, and even Bria Hartley—Charles remains the Sun's leading scorer (15.4 PPG).
Her highest scoring average since the 2022 season, there's no signs of slowing down for Tina Charles. There's been plenty of games she's proven she can still compete at a high level.
And although her production has been a bit volatile from a betting perspective, she has recorded 16+ points in two of the last four team. In addition, that includes 20 and 20 back-to-back performances against the Seattle Storm. Mind you, Seattle has a scary frontcourt triple threat in Nneka Ogwumike, Ezi Magbegor, and Dominique Malonga.
Soaring over this prop in 12/20 games, Charles has totaled over this player prop line in three of the last six games. Now she faces an Indiana Fever squad, who allow the fifth most points in the paint (36 PPG). Not to mention, the Fever are giving up the second most points to centers (17.4) despite the frontcourt duo of Aliyah Boston and Natasha Howard.
Although Boston has the clear cut height advantage over Charles, opposing centers are shooting 46.8 percent against the Fever, and Boston and Charles love to go at it in the paint.
After a nine point dud performance, I'm expecting Charles to bounce back a the TD Garden today. Soaring over 15.5 points in two matchups against Indiana this season, Charles is averaging 19 points against the Fever. Through two matchups, Charles is shooting 50 percent from deep, and 39.4 percent from the floor.
Plus, Charle's sweet spot is the restricted area, where she's shooting 54.8 percent. Given opponents are shooting nearly 60 percent from that area against the Fever, this is a strong bet today.
Having averaged 32 minutes in both matchups, I'm more impressed with Charles's shot volume (16.5 FGA) against Indiana, especially her 8-8 free-throw performance in their last matchup. Last matchup, the Fever allowed Wings center Li Yueru to erupt for 16 points alone.
GP: 20 | PPG: 12.2 | FG: 47 % | FT: 65.3 % | 3PT: 0 % | REB: 6.5 | AST: 1.8 | STL: 0.9 | BLK: 0.9
My third best bet for today, I placed one unit on Washington Mystics center Shakira Austin to record over 13.5 points against the Los Angeles Sparks.
Shakira and the Mystics get the LA Sparks for the first time this season, a team that features Dearica Hamby and Azurà Stevens in the frontcourt.
With the team exploring trade options for Aaliyah Edwards, there's no doubt the Mystics have a surplus of frontcourt players in Austin, Dolson, Edwards, and Kiki Iriafen. Either way it's working—this is a team that's exceeded expectations under new head coach Sydney Johnson.
There's no doubt Austin is performing at a high level, averaging a career-high 12.2 points in her fourth WNBA season. Although her minutes have averaged from low to high 20's, Austin has soared over this player prop line in six of the last 10 games. Over that span, she's averaging 15.8 points, on 47.7 field goal shooting.
As a bettor, I've watch the Sparks underachieve, despite a talented roster with a mix of youth and veterans. Until Cameron Brink returns from injury, the Sparks rank No. 12 in defensive rating (108.3), allowing the third most paint points per game (37 PPG).
Let's be real— this is Spark's team that's struggled to contain bigs at times. This season, center's are shooting over 50 percent from the field against LA, averaging 14.5 points per game.
Given both squads love the push the pace (top 5), I'm expecting plenty of scoring, especially in transition. The Mystics third leading scorer, Austin should have a favorable matchup against a Sparks team, who's struggled massively on the defensive end.
