The injury of star guard Caitlin Clark has led to a steep decline in betting activity surrounding Indiana Fever games; wagers fell by up to 50% at various sportsbooks. This shift highlights Clark's importance to the WNBA's betting landscape, as evidenced by substantial decreases at Caesars Sportsbook and BetMGM. Despite the Fever originally attracting over 90% of money-line bets, interest waned in the games played without Clark. Factors like the ongoing NBA playoffs also contributed to this downturn in the WNBA betting scene.
"I figured it would have an impact for sure, but it goes to show just how big of a draw Clark is to both the league and the world of WNBA betting," David Lieberman.
"We have seen a downturn in WNBA handle and bet count at the Fanatics Sportsbook after Caitlin Clark's injury. She began this season as the most popular selection for prop betting, before she was injured."
