The New York Liberty and Indiana Fever will face off again on Tuesday night in Brooklyn following the All-Star break, after the Liberty dominated their final pre-break matchup.
The Liberty may see the return of reigning WNBA Finals MVP Jonquel Jones from an ankle injury, while the Fever are expected to be without star Caitlin Clark due to a groin injury sustained last week.
Due to Clark's absence and New York's strong 10-2 home record, betting sites list the Liberty as heavy favorites. The Liberty also aim to close the 3.5-game gap with the first-place Minnesota Lynx in the standings.
Betting odds (via DraftKings Sportsbook) are presented for spread, moneyline, and total points.
With Clark out, Fever guard Kelsey Mitchell is highlighted as a strong prop bet option. In the 10 games Clark has missed this season, Mitchell averages 18.9 points, 3.1 assists, and 1.7 rebounds. She has scored 19+ points in 9 of her last 11 games (since June 22), averaging 21.4 PPG with 52.5% field goal and 47.6% three-point shooting during that stretch. Mitchell is expected to receive increased offensive opportunities.
Analysis recommends backing the Liberty, citing Jones' potential return as a significant boost against an Indiana team consistently impacted by Clark's injuries, which Fever coach Stephanie White confirmed will keep Clark sidelined Tuesday.
