The pick — Caitlin Clark OVER 3.5 three-pointers (-110, FanDuel)
It can’t get much worse than an 0-2 start!
My grasp on Caitlin Clark’s play has never been lower, so it’s time to channel Dory from “Finding Nemo” and just keep swimming with short-term memory.
Taking all the data into account, Clark should have a TON of opportunities to hit threes against the Aces in Las Vegas on Saturday.
Regarding three-point defense, the Aces rank dead last in opponent three-point percentage and second to last in opponent three-point attempts. They’re also second to last in opponent points.
Add in the fact that Clark is averaging 8.6 three-point attempts per game, and we have a stew going, baby. She also seems to have addressed her fouling problem, with zero personal fouls against the Storm in Indiana’s 85-83 loss on Wednesday. So expect her to be good for another 31-plus minutes on the court.
All in all, the environment should be ripe for Clark to let loose from as far as the Las Vegas Strip.
