Caitlin Clark’s rookie season didn’t just live up to the hype; it redefined it. The Indiana Fever guard took the WNBA by storm, leading the league in assists and three-pointers while finishing seventh in scoring. Clark broke the rookie scoring record, achieved the league’s first-ever rookie triple-double (twice), and was recognized as the Rookie of the Year, earning 66 of a possible 67 votes.
Clark’s impact was felt far beyond the box score. She boosted attendance, drove national conversation and brought a fresh wave of betting opportunities.
If you’re looking to get in on the action in 2025, here’s six ways to bet on Clark and the Indiana Fever this season.

Caitlin Clark to win the regular season MVP (+200)
Clark enters the 2025 season with the shortest odds to win MVP, ahead of reigning winner A’ja Wilson (+235) and there’s a good reason for it.

Clark accomplished a lot as a rookie, making a quick transition from the NCAA to the pros with very little time off. Now, Indiana has dramatically improved its roster, which should lead to more wins and better opportunities for Clark to shine.
The Fever are set to appear in a record 41 nationally televised games this season and if she plays well on those big stages, the media spotlight could work in her favor when it comes to MVP voting. And let’s not forget; voter fatigue could hurt Wilson’s chances.
Only one player, Cynthia Cooper in 1998, has won MVP in her second season. No Rookie of the Year has ever followed that up with MVP in Year 2. But players like Breanna Stewart, Elena Delle Donne, Tina Charles and Wilson did win the award in Year 3.
Clark showed real growth as her rookie season progressed, so it’s not out of the question that she takes another leap and wins Most Valuable Player this year.
Clark to score 45+ points in any regular season game (+250)
Clark averaged 19.2 PPG as a rookie, logging 35.4 MPG and 14.5 FGA over 40 games. With the 2025 season expanding to 44 games, Clark will have more opportunities to explode offensively. She made strength training a priority this offseason, which should only enhance her production in Year 2.
There have been just nine players who have scored 45-plus points in a regular season game in WNBA history, including current stars like Wilson and Stewart. It’s also worth noting that five of those games went to overtime, including one that went to double overtime and another that went to triple overtime. Those performances came with an average of 25.3 field goal attempts. If Clark sees a spike in volume on any given night, she has the offensive skill set to join that exclusive list.
Clark to record 20+ double doubles in the regular season (+175)
Clark posted 14 double-doubles as a rookie. Not only is she an elite scorer and playmaker, but a surprisingly strong rebounder too. Clark averaged 5.7 RPG and 8.4 APG last season and with a full offseason under her belt and an improved supporting cast, she is set up for an even better 2025 campaign. There have been 13 instances in which a player has achieved 20 or more double-double in a regular season. Notable last season were Wilson, Angel Reese and Charles. Clark is currently projected to average 20.5 PPG, 5.7 RPG, and 8.1 APG in 35 MPG and is well positioned to clear this number.
Clark under 924.5 regular season points (-115)
Clark scored 769 points in 2024, setting a league record for most points by a rookie. While she’s expected to improve in her second season, there are some factors that could limit a massive jump in scoring.
The Fever’s numerous veteran additions bring scoring ability and should take pressure and volume off Clark. The offense will still run through her, but with Mitchell and Boston also commanding touches, Clark may not need to shoulder as much of the scoring load.
Even with an expanded 44-game season, that’s a big leap — especially with more scoring talent around her. Clark should thrive in a more balanced offense as a facilitator, but I’m leaning under 924.5 regular season points.
Indiana Fever over 28.5 regular season wins (-115)
The Fever have completely reshaped their roster heading into the 2025 season, and they’re ready to make a serious push for a championship. With key veteran acquisitions like DeWanna Bonner, Natasha Howard, Brianna Turner and Sophie Cunningham, the Fever have added much-needed defensive toughness. These veterans also bring leadership that the team lacked last year. Alongside rising stars like Clark, Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell, this team now has a potent mix of experience and talent.

After a rough start in 2024, the Fever showed their potential by going 8-2 post-Olympic break, ranking first in offensive efficiency during that stretch. Their biggest area of opportunity for improvement, defense and depth, have been addressed with a revamped roster and improved bench strength.
The Fever also brought back head coach Stephanie White. She has deep ties to the franchise and helped lead the Connecticut Sun to two Finals appearances in 2019 and 2022. Now, she’s back in Indiana with a group built to win now. White’s philosophy focuses on a strong offensive approach built around her star trio: Clark, Boston and Mitchell. She’ll want to make sure they have more options to share the ball, making it harder for defenses to contain all three.
The Fever are built to crush the 28.5-win mark this season. With a strong mix of veteran leadership and rising stars, Indiana has the tools to contend for a top-three playoff seed. Expect them to start fast, build chemistry quickly and stay locked in for a deep postseason run.
Fever to win WNBA Finals (+350)
Indiana isn’t just a playoff team; the Fever are legit title contenders. Clark, Boston and Mitchell already got a taste of the playoffs. Now they’ve got the depth, defense, and veteran leadership to go further. At +350, you’re getting value on a team that’s loaded with talent, stacked with experience, and motivated to win it all. Don’t be surprised if the Fever are playing for a championship in 2025.
