The Indiana Fever look to get back on track visiting their archrival Chicago Sky on Saturday afternoon after a heartbreaking overtime loss Thursday.
The Fever (19-12) are in a battle for playoff seeding as one of five teams within a game of each other and a win versus the Sky, who are outside the playoff picture, is needed to help in their quest for homecourt advantage. Their first meeting came June 11 in Indianapolis, when the Fever blew a 19-point lead but won in 114-106 overtime. Eerily similar to blowing a 20-point lead Thursday and losing to the Aces 86-84 in OT on a Chelsea Gray buzzer beater.
Indiana is expected to have its stars for the game. Kelsey Mitchell remains second in the league in scoring average (24.1 per game). Caitlin Clark, who missed two free throws late in regulation and turned it over in overtime before Gray's 3, had been red hot as the Fever were strong throughout July. She's averaging 21.5 points and 8 **** ists per game. Aliyah Boston averages 17 points 8.4 rebounds and 3 **** ists per game.
Rickea Jackson leads the Sky at 18 points per game and grabs 4.8 rebounds per contest.
