NBA Player Props Today – Monday, May 20, 2024
Caitlin Clark Over/Under 20.5 Points
Caitlin Clark Over/Under 5.5 Assists
Aliyah Boston Over/Under 7.5 Rebounds
Caitlin Clark Over/Under 20.5 Points
Clark finally had a good day shooting the basketball on Saturday against the Liberty, but those days are likely to be few and far between early in 2024 as she adjusts to the WNBA. In her 2 prior games, Clark made only 7-of-23 field goals, including only 5-of-18 from 3-point territory.
Clark scored 20 points against Connecticut last Tuesday, but she struggled with her efficiency. Playing on her home floor this time around, Clark is likely going to be able to get more contributions from her teammates. It wouldn’t be surprising to see Clark take around 12 shots and end up with 18 points.
- PICK: Clark UNDER 20.5 Points (-120), FanDuel
Caitlin Clark Over/Under 5.5 Assists
Clark has struggled with her efficiency shooting the basketball to begin her WNBA career, but her elite passing ability has been on full display, with 14 assists across her last 2 games against the Liberty.
Even after an improved offensive effort on Saturday, the Fever are averaging only 72.3 points per game in 2024. Last year, no team averaged fewer than 76.6 points per game for the season.
As Indiana’s offense begins to gel and develop more cohesion, it’s likely that Clark will end up averaging around 6 assists per game, which gives this play good value any time we get it at less than 6.5.
- PICK: Clark OVER 5.5 Assists (-145), DraftKings
Aliyah Boston Over/Under 7.5 Rebounds
Aliyah Boston has yet to post more than 7 rebounds in a game this season, but it figures to only be a matter of time before that streak comes to an end, considering she averaged 8.4 rebounds per game in 2023.
Part of Boston posting low numbers on the glass early in 2024 is likely tied to the fact that Indiana has allowed at least 91 points in each of their first 3 games. At some point, that is likely to regress. Last season, no team allowed more than 85.1 points per game.
At plus money, this is a worthwhile risk on Boston, who has eclipsed this market number in 12 of her last 15 home games dating back to last season.
- PICK: Boston OVER 7.5 Rebounds (+100), DraftKings
