Sky vs Fever Prediction, Picks and WNBA Prop Bets for May 17: Bet Caitlin Clark, Fever ATS

Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark created plenty of buzz as rookies. Now their second WNBA seasons begin with a clash featuring Reese’s Chicago Sky hitting the road to face Clark and the Indiana Fever in Saturday’s season opener.

Indiana won three of the four meetings a season ago with the Fever covering against the WNBA spread in all four matchups.

The WNBA odds list Indiana as the 7.5-point favorite. It is the most points Indiana has been favored by in the series dating back to 2016.

Let’s check out some best WNBA bets for this season-opening showdown.

Sky vs Fever Prediction

Both Chicago and Indiana have new head coaches and have tinkered with the roster to try to make noise in the Eastern Conference. All eyes will still be on Clark and Reese.

Indiana is tied for second at +325 in the WNBA championship odds, while Chicago is well back at +7000.

Indiana won its last five games when listed by the BetUS sportsbook as the home favorite. However, the Fever failed to cover in the last three. The last 12 times that Indiana was favored at home, the game landed over the total.

Score prediction: Fever 88, Sky 82.

Sky vs Fever Best WNBA Player Props Today

• Caitlin Clark 22+ Points (-124)

There were some pretty interesting moments for Clark against the Sky during her rookie season. Some of them were the result of flagrant fouls by the Sky. Some of the players who stepped over the line for the Sky have moved on.

There’s much more to the Fever than the Caitlin Clark show.

Indiana added some veterans like DeWanna Bonner, Natasha Howard and Sophie Cunningham to help protect Clark, but they also provide more scoring options. Clark had 31 points the last time she played Chicago and she could have another big number on Saturday.

Bet on Clark to have at least 22 points in the WNBA expert picks.

• Kamilla Cardoso 9+ Rebounds (-106)

So much of Chicago’s offense last season seemed to be set up for Angel Reese to put up big numbers and add to her double-double totals. With a change of coaches, fellow second-year post player Kamilla Cardoso could benefit the most as she makes WNBA news.

Cardoso pulled down at least 10 rebounds in all four games versus Indiana as a rookie and could approach that number again.

Consider a bet for Cardoso to have 9+ rebounds as one of the WNBA prop picks.

Sky vs Fever ATS Pick

Two of the four games between Chicago and Indiana in 2024 finished as one-point affairs. I’m not predicting that to happen on Saturday, but perhaps Chicago can make enough shots to hang around and cover as a 7-point underdog.

Bet on Chicago Sky +7.5 (-110)

Sky vs Fever Over/Under Pick

It will be interesting to watch how the new coaching staffs will impact the pace of play when the Sky and the Fever hit the court.

Courtney Vandersloot’s return to Chicago should help the Sky’s offensive efficiency. Indiana will look to push the pace and that is enough to go with the game to land over the total as one of the WNBA predictions.

Bet on Sky vs Fever Over 168.5 (-110)
