The player props for Sunday’s game list Stewart with a game-high point total of 21.5 O/U while Clark is sitting at a team-high 18.5 O/U for the Fever.
Clark has the highest assist total on the board at 6.5. The former Iowa star is averaging 16.9 PPG and 6.5 APG this year, both team highs.
Aliyah Boston, the woman who preceded Clark as the #1 overall pick in 2023, is suffering a bit of a sophomore slump so far. Boston won WNBA Rookie of the Year last season, averaging 14.5 points and 8.4 rebounds per game. Those have decreased to 10.9 PPG and 6.9 RPG in ten games in 2024.
Indiana Fever vs New York Liberty Predictions
The Fever aren’t performing up to preseason expectations but their recent results have been much more encouraging. They’ve won two of their last five games, and three of their last six losses came by six points or fewer.
The Liberty are undoubtedly going to be in the mix for the championship again; Stewart, Ionescu, and Jonquel Jones comprise one of the most-formidable big three in league history. But starting guard Courtney Vandersloot is questionable with a back injury (she missed Friday’s 90-79 win over the Washington Mystics in which New York failed to cover as 13.5-point favorites) and their May 19 rout of the Fever remains their only victory of the season by more than 11 points.
Fever vs Liberty picks:
- Fever +14.5 (-110)
- Boston under 12.5 points (-115)
