Commercial content 21+.Nearly halfway through the WNBA season, the Rookie of the Year award is Caitlin Clark’s to lose.

 

The Indiana Fever superstar is -3000 at FanDuel Sportsbook —  a near lock — to win the award.

 

Los Angeles Sparks rookie Cameron Brink, who was the second-favorite in the race, suffered a torn ACL earlier this week.

The only real competition to Clark for the award is her rival, Angel Reese of the Chicago Sky, who is +1000.

Reese is the only other player with odds better than 120-1.

After a slow start to the season, Clark has helped turn her and the Fever’s season around.

 

Indiana opened the season 1-8, leaving many to question if Clark’s talents matched her popularity.

The Fever have since won five of their last seven, including a current three-game winning streak, bringing their record for the season to 6-10 as they head into Friday’s matchup against the Atlanta Dream.

Even after their dreadful start, if the playoffs ended today, the Fever would sneak in with the No. 8 seed.

Clark has been the biggest reason why the Fever are in playoff contention a year removed from finishing with the third-worst record in the WNBA.

The No. 1 overall draft pick is averaging 16.3 points, 5.5 rebounds and 6.2 assists on 39 percent shooting and 32.8 percent from deep.

Clark had perhaps her best game of the season earlier this month, dropping 30 points on 7 of 13 from 3-point land with six assists, eight rebounds and four steals during a win over the Washington Mystics.

Last weekend, Clark put up 23 points with nine assists and eight rebounds in an upset over the Sky.
