Caitlin Clark is set to take the floor for the first time as a professional basketball player as the former Iowa Hawkeyes star guard makes the leap to the WNBA official in her first regular season game tonight. While she makes waves in the world of sports, Clark is also making history at casinos and on sports betting apps like DraftKings where bettors are setting records for wagers placed on a WNBA game and player.
Oddsmakers have already set the over/under for Caitlin Clark’s point total at 21.5 points for her WNBA debut where the Indiana Fever will face the Connecticut Sun tonight at 5 p.m. with a live broadcast on ESPN2 and streaming on Disney Plus. This means bookmakers believe that bettors will be roughly split down the middle, placing wagers that Clark will score either under 21 points, or over 21 points. This prop bet is the most bet player prop of the day among both WNBA and NBA markets, which includes tonight’s NBA playoff games, according to BetMGM.
If you are looking to bet on Clark’s point total or want to bet on her team to win tonight, you can place a wager on Draft Kings within the state of Oregon. Outside of Oregon, you will have several more options with promotional deals for first time sign ups. Here’s a look at the odds for Fever vs. Sun and Clark’s WNBA debut tonight where the Fever will be considered underdogs to the Sun.

Tonight’s game isn’t the only place Clark is making sports betting history, however. Bettors are already betting on how her season will go with historic amounts being placed on “futures” bets surrounding the sharp-shooting guard. For example, the odds that she will win the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year Award are set at record highs. Clark is a (-800) favorite to win ROY at Draft Kings and a (-750) favorite at BetMGM to win the annual award. Fanduel has those odds at (-700). For perspective, the next closest player deemed most likely to win the award is Oregon native and former Stanford star Cameron Brink. Fanduel has Brink at (+900) to win the award while BetMGM has even longer odds set at (+1000) for Brink to win. Brink was the No. 2 overall selection by the LA Sparks in the 2024 WNBA draft following Clark.
Despite being a long shot to win the WNBA’s MVP Award, bettors have also flocked to make wagers on Clark to be the league’s most valuable player as well. BetMGM officials say Clark is dominating early MVP betting where the line opened at +1200 and is now set at +1000 odds with Clark accounting for 68.1% of the tickets and 74.5% of the money wagered on that future bet already.
