Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever take on the Connecticut Sun. Our WNBA odds series has our Fever Sun prediction, odds, and pick. Find out how to watch Fever Sun.

A lot of national headlines have come from Caitlin Clark's exclusion from the 2024 United States Olympic women's basketball team. The debate about whether Clark should be on the team has a lot of different manifestations and components. Those who think Clark should be included on the Team USA roster think this is a huge missed opportunity to grow the game and showcase the most popular player in American women's basketball right now. Part of the rationale for doing this is a belief that with the USA roster being so stacked, putting Clark in over another deserving player — such as Diana Taurasi — won't make a difference between USA getting gold or not.

The contrary view in support of excluding Caitlin Clark from the USA roster has two primary points: First, as good as Clark is right now, she's not one of the 12 best women's basketball players in the United States. Taurasi, for instance, might be getting old in athlete-specific terms, but her experience and savvy would still make her a better, more important player for Team USA, not to mention the fact that Taurasi has paid her dues many times over. Clark has plenty of Olympic opportunities in the future, beginning with 2028 in Los Angeles.

The other argument against including Clark on the Team USA roster: She has a lot of development to do with the Indiana Fever, which is a pretty fair point. Clark and her new franchise have a lot to figure out. Giving her the added burden of Olympic training and practice, not to mention game play, would interfere with her urgent task of helping the Fever and building that franchise to a playoff-worthy standard, which is something Indiana is unlikely to attain this year.

Ultimately, the discussion about Caitlin Clark has legitimate points on both sides. Excluding her from Team USA is not outrageous, but the motivations and publicly-expressed reasons for doing so need to be legitimate, and that's where some questions exist.

The Clark theater of drama makes its next stop in Connecticut, where the Sun are trying to bounce back from their first loss of this WNBA season.

Why The Fever Could Cover The Spread

Caitlin Clark played a great game on Friday night, leading the Fever to a road win over the Washington Mystics. One of the more viral highlights from that game was Clark drawing three defenders to the top of the key on a curl move, freeing up a teammate for a wide-open 3-pointer in the right corner which helped the Fever hold off the Mystics down the stretch. Clark and the Fever played a lot of games in the first four weeks of the season but have been able to get a lot more rest in recent days. That could prove valuable here. Connecticut played a very tough game against the New York Liberty on Saturday. The Sun might not be at the peak of their powers in this game, enabling Indiana to cover.

Why The Sun Could Cover The Spread

The Sun just lost to New York. Don't expect this team to lose two games in a row. Look for Connecticut to come out firing and grab a 15-point halftime lead en route to a 20-point win.

Final Fever-Sun Prediction & Pick

The Sun should bounce back convincingly from their Saturday loss. Take Connecticut.

Final Fever-Sun Prediction & Pick: Sun -11
