00:00We've got Indiana taking on Minnesota tonight. Minnesota, the number 13 in the WNBA and Indiana

00:09sitting at that sixth slot. Yes, they have clawed their way into not only a playoff position,

00:14but it's probably one of the top teams in the WNBA. So those two teams going at it could be

00:19a potential preview that we could see in playoffs depending on how things shake up in the top three

00:24spots for Minnesota. So if that goes down, then we're already getting a little bit of an idea

00:28here. So I mentioned the fact that the Fever had this whopping 1-8 start to the season. Well,

00:34after coming back from the break, they're 17-8. And yes, a lot of that is because of

00:38Kaitlin Clark. But other things to keep in mind is that the Fever got the Fever. You guys know

00:44I can't miss an opportunity to have a pun on words or anything completely outrageous, but they are.

00:48They're on fire right now. And they are also on a five-game winning streak. This is a team that's

00:53going to come in hot and try to knock out that third-ranked team in the WNBA or at least continue

00:58climbing the charts and showing everyone that they are here to compete. But let's not count out

01:03Minnesota. Let's talk about the fact that you've got one of the top WNBA players on their roster.

01:08So taking things head-to-head, of course, we've got to look at what Kaitlin Clark is going to

01:12bring to the matchup tonight and what Collier is going to bring to the matchup tonight.

01:16I'm looking at Kaitlin Clark, who has an average of 18.9 points per game, 5.8 rebounds, 8.4 assists.

01:23I've said it over and over and over again. Kaitlin Clark in the assists column is complete money.

01:30She's so consistent and she is so stout when it comes to picking up those assists for her team.

01:35Not to mention is that the Fever aren't just hot on the road and they aren't just hot in the rankings.

01:40They are extremely hot at home. So keep that in mind when you're looking at your wagers for tonight's

01:45matchup. Then when you check out Collier, which is obviously one of the top players to keep an eye on

01:50the WNBA, she's crushing it statistically. First of all, averaging 20.4 points, 9.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists.

02:00And she went off in Indiana just a few games ago, putting up 31 points to help Minnesota

02:06clinch and secure a nice victory. So obviously, where would you lean in some props for tonight?

02:12Well, it's really attractive to look at the combination for Collier because even though her

02:18assist column might not be what Kaitlin Clark's is, that's fine. She doesn't have to be Kaitlin Clark, everybody.

02:22She just needs to be Collier and continue to rack up when it comes to points and rebounds.

02:26And she's sneaky, sneaky good in that rebound column. So I like her to hit over 32.5 points

02:32plus rebounds plus assists because she's going to come in hot. She's going to come in and try to

02:37compete with Kaitlin Clark and she's going to show everybody that she is one of the top WNBA players

02:41in the league. Then you've got Clark over here. Her assists kind of sit in an interesting place for me.

02:47I mean, she's constantly being able to find that double digit mark when it comes to racking up

02:51assists. So when you see the total like eight and a half, that's something you'd be very attractive.

02:54Now I get it. The Lynx are a pretty complete team offensively as well as defensively, but we've seen

02:59Kaitlin Clark be able to tear apart defenses even if she gets off to a slow start. It's really not a

03:04deterrent for me in terms of her having an eight and a half total. This is a team that tends to

03:09pick up in that third quarter. I've had a couple of bets sometimes where the third quarter did

03:13not pan out, but on the more consistent side, third quarter is a sweet spot for the Fever as

03:18well as Kaitlin Clark. I did want to point this out, everyone. There's a fun little four-leg parlay

03:24when it comes to Kaitlin Clark because why not? She's one of the top talked about players

03:29in general right now. So looking at this four-leg parlay may be something to consider.

03:34Over three and a half made threes. That should be an easy check. Over five and a half rebounds.

03:40I don't particularly see why not. Over eight and a half assists. I already made my case on

03:44the fact that I feel like that sits kind of low for Kaitlin Clark and her production rate right

03:48now and over 20 and a half points. This is sitting at plus 599 last time I saw. So maybe

03:54a parlay with partying with tonight on this Friday night.
