Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever (20-20, 8-12 away) find themselves on the brink of elimination on Wednesday night when they face the Connecticut Sun (28-12, 14-6 home) in Game 2 of their best-of-three first-round series at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT (7:30 pm ET).

After beating Indiana in three of four regular-season games, Connecticut dominated Game 1 on Sunday (93-69), opening an eight-point lead by halftime and only extending it in the final 20 minutes. The Sun easily covered as 6.5-point favorites.

The Fever vs Sun point spread for Game 2 remains at 6.5 while the Indiana moneyline is as long as +240. The game total has come down from 165.5 on Sunday to as low as 162.5 for Game 2, though as you’ll see in the odds section, below, there is a big gap in the total at various sportsbooks.

Betting on the Fever on the road hasn’t been a winning proposition overall this season. Indiana was four games under .500 away from home, and has now lost all three games in Uncasville by double-digits (92-71, 89-72, 93-69). But their play on the road – a microcosm of their overall performance – shot up in the second half of the year. Indiana was 4-3 straight-up in its last seven road games, including a win at Minnesota (81-74).

Coming off one of their worst offensive performances in months, there’s a very good chance the Fever bounce back in Game 2 against a team they had some success against in the regular season. Yes, Connecticut dominated two (early-season) home games, but Indiana won the final meeting, 84-80, on Aug. 28 with all five starters finishing in double-figures.

Indeed, since starting the season a dreadful 1-8, the Fever haven’t lost three straight games since. They only suffered back-to-back losses twice in that span. Ten of their final 12 losses during the regular season were followed by a straight-up victory.

There is no doubting that Indiana has the talent to hang with Connecticut, and now that they have a dose of postseason experience to go along with it. Expect a much better performance on Wednesday night from Clark – who was just 4-of-17 from the field in Game 1 – and her Indiana teammates.

Best Fever vs Sun Odds

Team Moneyline Spread Total
Indiana Fever +240 at Caesars +6.5 (-110) at ESPN Bet O 162.5 (-110) at Caesars
Connecticut Sun -290 at ESPN Bet -6.5 (-105) at BetMGM U 164.5 (-115) at BetMGM

There is no variation in the point spread at this point; all sportsbooks have the spread listed at Connecticut -6.5. The only notable difference is that BetMGM is offering Connecticut at -105 to cover. Basically every other book has the odds at -110 both ways.

The moneyline odds have a little more discrepancy. The best price on an Indiana victory is +240 at Caesars. A trio of books – ESPN, FanDuel, and DraftKings – have Connecticut at -290, which is the best available.

There is a wide discrepancy on the game total though. Bettors can get over 162.5 at -110 at Caesars, and the under at 164.5 (-115) at BetMGM, which creates interesting opportunities for middling.
