Indiana Fever News

Confirmed Lineup: Caitlin Clark, Kelsey Mitchell, Lexie Hull, NaLyssa Smith, Aliyah Boston

  • Temi Fagbenle (shoulder) — Out

The Fever have won six of their seven contests since the Olympic break concluded and are currently riding a four-game win streak. They've clinched a playoff spot for the first time since 2016, and much of their recent success has stemmed from Clark and Mitchell's play. Since the regular season resumed, they're scoring 24.6 and 26.7 respective points per game, the second and third-most league-wide. The Fever's 111.0 Offensive Rating over that time has been the best of any team. They'll host the Sparks, who own the league's worst Net Rating (-8.8) and have lost eight of their last 10 outings.
