Indiana Fever vs Connecticut Sun preview
Before the season started, the Indiana Fever's moves during the offseason had made them one of the favorites to win the title. However, a lot has changed since then. Caitlin Clark has missed a lot of games due to injuries, and the Fever are now trying to avoid elimination from playoff contention.
Despite their struggles, the Fever have some of the best players in their positions. Even without Clark on the roster, the Fever maintained their elite offense. They have the best offensive rating in the league in the last five games.
The addition of Sophie Cunningham and Natasha Howard has also helped the team on the defensive end. Aliyah Boston and Lexie Hull have also taken big defensive assignments, and the Fever have been successful in their strategy.
However, the Connecticut Sun's story has flipped since last season. They have gone from one of the top teams in the league to the worst team this season. Through 21 games, the Sun have both the worst defensive and offensive ratings. At one point, they didn't win a game for almost a month, from June 8 to July 6.
The Fever recorded a 19-point win against the Dallas Wings in their last game, and they would like to continue that against the Sun.
Indiana Fever vs Connecticut Sun starting lineups

From the Sun's side, the best bet would be on Bria Hartley, who had an excellent 25-point game against the LA Sparks in their last game.
Indiana Fever vs Connecticut Sun prediction
Neither the Indiana Fever nor the Connecticut Sun has been consistent in winning this season. However, when compared against each other, the Fever has been more reliable in drawing a win against even top teams in the league.
It is a nationally televised game, like any other Fever game, and the Sun would have to be at their best to beat the Fever.
OUR PREDICTION: Fever Win.
