Indiana Fever News, Injury Report, Schedule: Much-Needed Improvement

After a slow 3-10 start, the Indiana Fever have won six of their last nine games. Their net rating is just +1.9 over that period, but the offense has started to live up to its preseason reputation. There are still too many turnovers, though the efficiency is up.

Caitlin Clark has been inconsistent as a shooter. Indiana is still the fourth-best three-point shooting team in the Association, however. Kelsey Mitchell has been lights out from beyond the arc, which stands them in good stead against a Washington Mystics team that ranks 11th in opponent three-point attempts per game.

Washington Mystics News, Injury Report, Schedule: Missing Key Players

Washington has one win in its last five games. They have underachieved their expected win-loss record to date, though, as they have the eighth-ranked defense in the WNBA. Karlie Samuelson, Brittney Sykes, and Shakira Austin are all big losses for this team. They are simply suffering from a lack of talent this season.

There have been some positive signs of late, however. They are 5-5 over their last 10, and sit middle-of-the-pack in net rating across that period. This is an excellent three-point shooting team. Their ball movement is exceptional, too, as reflected by ranking number one in assist percentage over the last 10 games.
