Though she only made two shots from behind the arc in nine attempts in the Indiana Fever's second and final preseason game against the Atlanta Dream, Clark is anticipated to drain more than 3.5 threes in her official WNBA debut on Tuesday against the Connecticut Sun.

As the reigning champions Las Vegas Aces take on the previously last-seed Phoenix Mercury, the reigning WNBA Finals MVP is anticipated to register over 21.5 points on Tuesday.
