00:00Yesterday, prime time, middle of the afternoon spot on a Sunday, a 102-83 final yesterday

00:05with a fever, knocked off the wings.

00:07Kaitlin Clark still working her way back here, 14 points, 13 assists, and five steals.

00:12Paige Beckers had 21 points, but coach, I want to start there first.

00:15Working back into the fold, Kaitlin Clark, what are you seeing now with the fever after

00:19a few games back for Kaitlin Clark?

00:21Well, even before she got hurt, she was struggling from the three-point line.

00:25So to me, you know, her getting two threes, obviously that's good.

00:28I mean, it was a really good odds.

00:30It was just missed.

00:32I think it was ESPN in bed.

00:33I think it was 15-plus points for each of them, two-plus made threes.

00:36And, of course, Kaitlin Clark got the 14 points, and everybody missed out.

00:40But to me, it's more about what I see with everyone else.

00:43I feel like, and I've said this over the weekend with Kaitlin Clark, Kaitlin Clark's got to change

00:49her game a little bit because she's got so many dynamic players around her.

00:54Aaliyah Boston, obviously, with 17 points last night.

00:57But Alexi Hall was off at only three.

00:59Sophie Cunningham at 13.

01:01Those two have played really, really well, particularly in the fact that shooting the ball.

01:04So now you're Kaitlin Clark.

01:06To me, you've got to look at assists because they may hang those points numbers, Donnie, way too high.

01:11So look at the assist market.

01:13I told people, I thought the best bet of the day yesterday was Kaitlin Clark double-double

01:17at plus 130 to 150 if you shot the round.

01:21Because you look at the fact that other people are scoring, Dallas doesn't play good defense,

01:27and Dallas gives up the most assists per game in the WNBA.

01:31It wasn't a great shooting performance, but Kaitlin got other ladies involved,

01:36and that, to me, Donnie, makes them more dangerous than taking the logo threes.

01:42So, thank you.
