The WNBA season has reached its halfway point, with teams starting to separate in the standings. The Indiana Fever find themselves in an interesting mid-tier group alongside teams like the Las Vegas Aces, Washington Mystics, and Golden State Valkyries. Notably, the Atlanta Dream (12-7) are not in this group and face the Fever on Friday. The Dream have won two of their three matchups against Indiana this season, setting up a potentially thrilling series finale in front of an eager Indiana crowd.
The game details for Friday's matchup are: Venue - Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis; Time - 7:30 p.m. ET; TV Broadcast - ION and WNBA League Pass; Streaming - Fubo (free trial available). Tickets are available on StubHub for those attending in person.
The Fever have shown inconsistency, resembling a title contender at their peak but struggling significantly at their lowest, as demonstrated by a recent 61- point loss to Golden State at home. In that game, Indiana shot only 30.9% from the field, with Kelsey Mitchell leading the team with 12 points. Caitlin Clark had an ineffective performance (10 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds, 4 turnovers). Clark's recent struggles are not isolated; battling injuries, she has shot 36% or lower from the field in 6 of her last 10 games and made only 3 of her last 28 three-point attempts.
Turning things around will be difficult against the Dream, whose defense has been as suffocating as Golden State's, but with more offensive polish. Led by Allisha Gray and Rhyne Howard, Atlanta held Indiana to a season-low 58 points in their last meeting on June 10 (a game Clark missed).
