Get Indiana Fever vs Phoenix Mercury predictions, picks, and odds for 6-30, plus WNBA best bets and same-game parlay analysis.
Our WNBA betting picks believe that Phoenix Mercury veteran Natasha Cloud will put the clamps on Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark while adding a few successful shots of her own this afternoon.Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever continue their West Coast road trip today as they face off against a deep and talented Phoenix Mercury squad.
Cloud is a traditional floor general, and because she’s a bit of a shaky outside shooter, her game is predicated on aggressively attacking the basket whenever she has a chance. Clark isn’t strong enough, or defensively disciplined enough, to handle Cloud one on one. But it will be too costly to consistently send help with all of the Mercury’s many shooters on the floor.
Wearing out Clark on defense will also be a cornerstone of slowing her down on offense. As such I suspect Cloud is going to be more of a featured player on offense than usual. It’s not just Cloud’s offense that Clark has to worry about, it’s the pressure she’ll put on the rookie phenom on the other side of the ball. Cloud has made the All-Defense team twice and was fifth in Defensive Player of the Year voting just two seasons ago as a 5-foot-10 guard.
They’re still dead last in defensive rating at a startling 109.5, and a lack of confidence in their dedication on that end has seen today’s total climb nearly six points since opening.The Fever opened as six-point underdogs against the Mercury, but action on the home team has seen that rise as high as -8.5 as of Sunday morning.
