The Indiana Fever meet the Chicago Sky for the third time this season, but the first time in Chicago. Their first two meetings, both Fever wins, were eventful. In the first, Fever rookie Caitlin Clark and Sky veteran Chennedy Carter traded pleasantries and contact. In the second, Sky rookie Angel Reese fouled Clark hard.
The Fever (7-10) are on a four-game winning streak, led by consistent performances from Clark, Kelsey Mitchell, Aliyah Boston and NaLyssa Smith. The Fever are shooting 51.9% from the field over that span, holding opponents to 39.6% and hold an average 5-rebound edge. Stats during the streak:
