It has been an up-and-down season for the Indiana Fever so far, with a record of 9-7. They are on a two-game losing streak and are just 5-5 in their last 10 games. They had a four-game winning streak prior to losing back-to-back games to the Atlanta Dream.

Caitlin Clark is now the Fever’s leading scorer at 21.1 points per game, which is third in the WNBA behind A’ja Wilson and Kelsey Plum. Clark is also second in the league in assists per game at 8.1.

Clark’s problem remains the same: turnovers and foul trouble. She has had a hard time adjusting to the new freedom of movement rule.

Phoenix Mercury This Season

The Phoenix Mercury are sitting 12th in the WNBA standings at 5-12. They are struggling on the defensive end, though Kahleah Copper‘s shooting struggles doesn’t help.

Satou Sabally‘s departure is being felt, and Alyssa Thomas can’t carry them all season. Nevertheless, they are coming off a 93-73 win over the Seattle Storm, which could spark a potential turnaround.
