time for a quick take Caitlyn Clark sink three three-pointers in the fever's 8480 win over the Conneticut Sun that gave her 88 threes on the season a w rookie record Stephen A do you think she'll end up being the best three-point shooter the WNBA has ever seen she clearly has a chance I mean she's she's hit more threes I mean for than any rookie in WNBA history I'll remind you Molly that over the last 10 games or so this girl is a in 22.2 points 10.3 assists 5.9 rebounds 1 and A2 steals Thea who are 15 and 16 and in the seventh playoff spot right now four-on-one since the Olympic break ended and won six of their last games dating back to Mid July she's the reason there are other people as the great Cheryl swoops articulated that are obviously making incredible contributions uh and helping the Indiana F win again it's a collective effort it's not one indiv visual but the fact is is that the success that they're reaping is not something they were enjoying last year Caitlyn Clark has arrived and she's something special oh by the way Molly keep in mind this woman walked in this this season fatigued she had to go to the NCAA tournament played in the national championship game etc etc and then just weeks later she's starting her WNBA career she hasn't even rested yet take that into consideration the girl is special yeah I don't think I don't think she needs rest even she's the truth we'll keep it rolling here back to the NF welcome in the Hall of fam of Rebecca Lobo Rebecca Minnesota on quite a run seven in a row now what's fueling this hot streak for them this is a Minnesota links team that is playing the best basketball in the league since the Olympic break they're the best defensive team in the league right now they have been all season long and they've really found their flow on the offensive end as well nefisa Collier is having a terrific season averaging 20 and 10 but even in a night like tonight where her numbers aren't quite what they typically are the rest of the team can simply score they share the basketball they lead the league and assists per game and they can really shoot it from the perimeter they have three of the top five Shooters in terms of three-point field goal percentage in the league so this is a team that has it all and they're clicking on all the right cylinders right now they go to Dallas Friday looking to try to make it eight in a row meanwhile the fever have won four of five since the break Kelsey Mitchell's playing well Caitlyn Clark setting records Ayah Boston is contributing Lexi Hall how dangerous a team is Indiana I think they're quite dangerous actually which is pretty amazing thing to say considering how this Indiana Fever team started the season but they're coming off a game tonight where they beat the Connecticut Sun a team that really dismantled them in their first game of the season this is an Indiana Fever team that I think right now the conversation is no longer are they going to make the playoffs I think it's fair to have a conversation can they win a first round playoff game and depending on who that matchup is if the season ended right now it would be the Connecticut Sun I think this is an Indiana Fever team that could find their way not only into the playoffs but could find their way into the semi-finals they're playing that well right now and they go to Chicago Friday Angel Ree and Caitlyn Clark once again that's always fun as is having you on the program Rebecca we appreciate it points made by a rookie in a single season in WNBA history surpassing Ryan Howard early second quarter Ty Harris behind the back dribble gets past clarkk for the lay Harris putting the moves on The Rook but Clark answering back later in the quarter Clark putting him on the floor deep triple fever up four Clark with 10 in the first half early third D Bonner to the rack muscles through for the basket plus the foul Sund down one after the free throw throw a technical free throw on there Bor finished with 13 later in the third fever up three Clark pushing Pace gets the lane pump fake makes the lay fever up five early fourth now Marina Ma's block shot Corell by Alysa Thomas banks in the jumper we are tied at 69 later in the fourth F down two Lexi Hull Drive and kick Kelsey Mitchell pour it in she's been on fire lately Mitchell would finish with 23 final 90 now tied at 80 Clark asserting offense quick through the lane lays it home fever up two Clark finished with 195 and five final 30 ticks Sundown two Alissa Thomas drives inside but gets it stripped that's going to be Indiana basketball ruled last off Thomas and the fever win it 84 to 80 it's their first win over the sun since 2021 the last 12 matchups and their fourth consecutive home Victory as we take a look at the Box again Four Points between them the decisive hoop was that Layin by Caitlyn Clark driving to the rack with about 90 ticks remaining let here from Clark post game this is a team that we felt we hadn't really given a game to at all we felt I think especially here like we felt like we gave one away but at the same time we didn't feel like we played like how we are playing now and then the two games there obviously were about as bad as it gets for us as a team this season so I'm just proud of of our group I thought we came in very motivated very excited for this game I thought our crowd was honestly incredible they were really into the game like that certainly helps us a lot especially when you need a big stop there at the end like that's huge it feels like there's another defender on the floor and I'm just really thankful for that and the three-point record is cool and um I think it just speaks to the way we play offense and the way we've been playing offense especially as of late like just fast Up Tempo um I feel like i' I'm definitely capable of shooting it a little bit better like I feel like I've gotten some tough roles over this over this course of this year but um even that last one tonight like I felt like it was it that one really upset me a little bit but um I still feel like I'm shooting it well I feel like I'm taking good shots and that's the most important thing for this team we're going have to take a look at the malt box in Indiana TV jargon shout out to ke derish shout out Caitlyn Clark now 883s and Counting most ever by a rookie this historic season rolls on but will it roll into the [Music] playoffs stars are in action for a loaded WNBA slate tonight Angel Reese in the sky take on the mystics Reese already has 22 double doubles including 20 rebounds in each of her last three games she's tied with Tina Charles for the most double doubles by a rookie in WNBA history Brian Stewart and the Liberty are in action against the Sparks tonight New York holds a three-game lead over Connecticut for the best record ESPN analytics gives him a 96% chance to earn the one seed and Caitlyn Clark and the fever have a tough test at home against the Sun Connecticut has won 11 straight games against Indiana tying their longest win streak versus any opponent in franchise history we now welcome in the Hall of Famer Rebecca Lobo and behind Caitlyn Clark the fever have surged since the Olympic break going 3 and one since the season resumed what can you point to that is really ACC credited to their success so far a couple things they certainly their chemistry got better over that Olympic break they're a better defensive team now than they were prior they were 11th in defensive rating before the Olympic break they've moved up to eight since then and their backcourt has been absolutely terrific we know that Caitlyn Clark kind of found her groove right before the Olympics double digit assist she was handing out and then Kelsey Mitchell has been wonderful she's scored four games with 20 plus points since the Olympic break she's shooting it at a high percentage she's had 20 points in six of her last seven games and she's averaging four made threes in that stretch and as far as Caitlyn Clark goes her efficiency has been better she's shooting 46% since the Olympic break her turnovers also have been down a bit coming off a game against Atlanta where she tied a season low for only two turnovers in that game so better defensively better chemistry offensively yeah the fever have been rolling they are 11 and six over the last 17 games and Indiana's tied for the fourth best record in the WNBA during that span Rebecca you stay right there let's bring in our sports betting analyst Aaron Dolan right now and Aaron I just talked about how the Indiana Fever they're rolling right now taking on the Connecticut Sun tonight and that's a team that has Championship aspirations what's your best bet for this game so we're going to do is same game parlay for those that don't know what that is it's when you combine two or more bets so the first leg that we're going to go with here is we're going to go with the Indiana Fever plus three and a half Rebecca Lobo just talked about it they've been much better defensively as well as the chemistry getting better on offense and they've also been really good against the number at home as of recently 8 2 and one ATS in their last 10 home games and they've been better as of recently winning five of the last seven games so I'll take the points there and then we're going to go with Caitlyn Clark over 18 and a half points now she has struggled against this team in the three meetings that they've had had but the last meeting was June 10th and she's been good since the Olympic break hitting over this Mark in all four of those games now this is a one-way Market that's available this isn't her Player points prop which is 19 A2 but because this is Juicy we add this in with the fever plus three and A2 and you can get this at plus 150 if I can move this on here if it wants to move which it's not but it is at one plus 150 it's plus 150 yeah we're going to just imagine that just imagine this see like I did go to college but you know I can't get it up there look I have a hard touch screen as well that's why I give Tyler the magic uh little string that we Ed to just get that up there but we'll give it to you next time going to try one more time there we go see there we go magic plus 150 thought we were going with the numbers there that's what a same game parlay is two or more bets into one you talk about Caitlyn Clark in the three matchups versus the Connecticut Sun so far Caitlyn is averaging about 16 points per game 39% from the field in six turnovers per game
