Indiana Fever and New York Liberty Clash: Updates on Caitlin Clark's Injury
In the upcoming WNBA game between the Indiana Fever and the New York Liberty, the spotlight will be on two of the league's most dynamic players - Sabrina Ionescu and Kelsey Mitchell.
Sabrina Ionescu, the glue to the offense on the distribution end, has been impressing fans with her assisting prowess. In her last six games this month, she has totaled an impressive 41 assists, averaging 6.8 assists per game. This form has seen her surpass the 5.5 assists mark in five out of her last six games played. With her season average of 5.6 assists per game and her recent performance, a prediction in the 4 to 6 assists range for Ionescu seems reasonable for the upcoming game [1][2].
As for Kelsey Mitchell, the latest data does not provide an explicit predicted number for her three-pointers in this game. However, over her last nine games, she has gone over the 2.5 made three pointers mark in four games. Sports betting sites are offering odds of +110 for Mitchell to make over 2.5 three pointers, making it an attractive bet for those who believe in her scoring ability [3].
Unfortunately, Caitlin Clark, another key player for the Fever, will be missing the game due to a groin injury. This means that the scoring load for the Fever will fall heavily on Kelsey Mitchell.
The Liberty, who currently have a 10-point spread in favour of them, beat the Fever 98-77 in their last meeting before the All-Star Break. The game will take place in New York, with the Liberty hoping to maintain their winning streak against the Fever.
With Sabrina Ionescu's total assists set at over 5.5 with odds of -115, bettors should be siding with the over for her assists total, given her recent form [4]. Sports betting sites are leaning heavily on the Liberty in this matchup, but with Kelsey Mitchell expected to take on the scoring load, the Fever might put up a fight.
