The Indiana Fever, currently operating without key players Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham due to injuries, are aiming for their third consecutive victory as they face off against the Atlanta Dream tonight. With a balanced 4-4 record, the Fever have recently found success, thanks in large part to Kelsey Mitchell’s outstanding performances. Mitchell, who was just named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week, has been averaging 20.5 points over the past two games, both of which were victories for Indiana.
Meanwhile, the Atlanta Dream come into the game with a 5-3 record and boast one of the league’s top offenses, averaging 84.6 points per game—third-highest in the WNBA. They also dominate on the boards, leading the league in rebounds per game with an average of 37.6.
This contest marks the third meeting between the Fever and the Dream already this season. They previously faced off twice during the opening week of the season, with each game won by the visiting team. This trend sets the stage for another closely contested matchup.
