Prediction and Conclusion

The Connecticut Sun absolutely demolished the Indiana Fever in the opening game of the series, winning 93-69. Alyssa Thomas recorded 12 points, 13 assists, and 10 rebounds for her fourth career triple-double in the playoffs and 15th overall to spoil Caitlin Clark’s postseason debut. Clark shot only 4 of 17 from the field, and the Fever made only 40.3% of their shots. The Fever will definitely step up tonight, but that will not make a big difference, and the Sun will finish the series covering the -7.5-point spread.
