Four WNBA bets for Saturday: Caitlin Clark, Paige Bueckers set for big games

Saturday's WNBA slate features two games with spreads of 5.5 points or less. The defending champion New York Liberty traveling to Gainbridge Fieldhouse to take on Caitlin Clark and the new-look Indiana Fever.

The Liberty appear to have picked up right where they left off -- starting the season undefeated (3-0) and fresh off a record-breaking 3-point performance against the Chicago Sky.

Meanwhile Indiana sits at 2-1 heading into this matchup. Clark shined in the season opener with her first triple-double of the season, but the Fever split two close games with the Atlanta Dream and Clark is coming off one of the worst performances of her career Thursday (11 points, 6 assists, 0 3PM).

Saturday's second game features rookie Paige Buckers and Arike Ogunbowale Dallas Wings facing the Dream. Bueckers recorded her first career double-double on Wednesday in her home state of Minnesota with 12 points and a game-high 10 assists against the Lynx, while Ogunbowale led the team with 21 points.

Here are four bets that stand out for Saturday's slate.

All odds are accurate as of time stamp. For the latest odds go to ESPN BET.

Caitlin Clark over 3.5 three pointers (-130).

Clark has hit this line in two of her first three games. She faced a tough Dream defense in her last two matchups and now faces a Liberty team that has allowed the second-most three-point attempts to opponents early in the season. The volume should be there for Clark to easily clear this line. -- Moody

Liberty -1.5 over Fever (-115)

The defending champs are playing like it, with an impressive win over the Las Vegas Aces in their opener and a blowout victory over the Chicago Sky Thursday. The Fever also blew out the Sky but have since split games with the Dream. The addition of Natasha Cloud at point guard has given the Liberty another elite talent in their starting backcourt that can match the firepower Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell. But the Liberty have an advantage with Breanna Stewart and Jonquel Jones in the frontcourt and should be favored to beat the Fever despite Indiana's potential. -- Snellings

Dream -5.5 over Wings (-110)

While the Wings have excellent talent in Ogunbowale and Bueckers but are off to a slow start as they learn how to play together against tough competition. The Dream have the advantage in the middle with newcomers Brittney Griner and Brionna Jones, and Allisha Gray is off to the best start of her career in the backcourt next to Rhyne Howard. -- Snellings

Dream-Wings over 168.5 total points (-115)

The Wings can score, led by Ogunbowale and Bueckers, and the Dream can match them with Howard, Gray, Jones and Griner. Both defenses are struggling, as the Wings and Dream rank near the bottom of the league in defensive rating. Atlanta is also a strong three-point shooting team, which sets the stage for a high-scoring game. -- Moody
