Between 2010 and 2022, only six players averaged 22-plus points per game.

She’ll get plenty of touches as there’s not much firepower beyond Clark and second-year center Aliyah Boston. But asking for 22-plus is still a stretch.
This prop is available across different sportsbooks, with some operators offering two-way Yes/No action and others selling a solo prop on the Over 22+ as high as -160. Twenty-two points is a big ask for a rookie who will draw the ire of the defense each and every night.Clark brings more than deadeye shooting to Indiana, including her playmaking and court vision. She averaged more than eight assists during her tenure in Iowa and sportsbooks have her assist prop sitting at 6.
Not only does Indiana run a much slower tempo than Clark is used to, but Christie Side’s offense finished dead last in assist-to-FG ratio in 2023.

This aligns with what we’ve seen in the NBA, with analytics prioritizing the 3-point shot above everything but a layup.guard Sabrina Ionescu finished with a record 128 3-pointers in 36 regular season games . That broke Diana Taurasi’s 2006 mark of 121 3-pointers, which came under Paul Westhead’s infamous up-tempo system.
