WNBA best bets: Caitlin Clark season-long prop among expert's top picks for Opening Night

The 2024 WNBA season gets underway on Tuesday with four games, including the two-time defending champion Las Vegas Aces hosting the Phoenix Mercury. It also marks the professional debut of electric Iowa star Caitlin Clark, whose Indiana Fever will face the Connecticut Sun in the first half of ESPN2's Opening Night doubleheader.

Before you lock in any WNBA picks, you need to see what SportsLine women's basketball expert Calvin Wetzel has to say.

Wetzel, HerHoopStats.com lead betting writer, incorporates his mathematical background and strong knowledge of women's hoops to turn the site's prediction model into picks. After teaming up with Aaron Barzilai, a Ph.D. from Stanford, Wetzel is an incredible 1,385-988 (+372.33 units) on women's college basketball picks since the start of the 2021-22 season. He's also coming off a great 2023 season with a 238-185-1 overall record that featured a return on investment of nearly 7%!

Now Wetzel has set his sights on the WNBA Opening Night to deliver four best bets, including one Caitlin Clark season-long prop and a spread pick on Clark's first WNBA game. We can tell you one pick he likes is for 2023 WNBA Finals MVP A'ja Wilson to record at least 10 rebounds against the Mercury. Wilson pulled down 50 rebounds during the Aces' 3-1 series win over the Liberty in the 2023 WNBA Finals, and Wetzel is predicting another big performance in her season opener on Tuesday.

Wetzel has also locked in three more confident picks, including one first-half play in the Liberty-Mystics matchup. You need to see his picks before locking in your plays!
