3 minIndiana Fever vs. Connecticut Sun Prediction: Can Caitlin Clark Lead Fever to Win in Game 2?
The Indiana Fever and the Connecticut Sun meet tonight for Game 2 of this potential three-game series in the WNBA playoffs.
Indiana went 20-20 during the regular season to earn a playoff berth. Before this season, the Fever had not reached the playoffs since 2016.
The main reason for the Fever's quick turnaround is rookie sensation Caitlin Clark. However, the Fever got blown out, 93-69, in Game 1 and Clark struggled on offense.
The Sun put up a record of 28-12 during the regular season. That record was the second-best in the Eastern Conference and the third-best in the WNBA.
Who will come out on top tonight? Let's find out.

Clark, who was drafted first overall, has lived up to the hype this season, earning unanimous Rookie of the Year honors.
The former Iowa superstar leads the team with 19.2 points and 8.4 assists.
22-year-old Alyiah Boston has been another reason for the franchise turnaround. Boston has scored 14.0 points per game while ripping down a team-best 8.9 rebounds.

Indiana Fever vs. Connecticut Sun Pick
- Pick: Indiana Fever +7 (-115)
With their season on the line, I expect a lot of fight out of the Fever tonight.
The Fever got embarrassed in Game 1, but this young team should be much more prepared in Game 2 of the series.
Clark and the Fever offense have enough firepower to fight and keep this contest close.
Let's make some money tonight!
