Indiana Fever vs Connecticut Sun Injury Report

The Fever will continue to be without Damiris Dantas due to a knee injury. The Connecticut Sun don’t have any player on their injury report.

Indiana Fever vs Connecticut Sun Prediction

Caitlin Clark looks to be getting more and more comfortable in the WNBA, but it’s going to take more than that for the Fever to get over the hump. The Fever lack scoring depth, and their defensive effort through 3 games hasn’t been good. The Connecticut Sun remain one of the most consistent teams in the league over the years, and they’ve won 9 straight games against the Fever. Of course, one of those wins came in the opening contest, as the Sun blasted the Fever by 21 points. The home crowd is nice and Clark will continue to find her footing, but the Fever need a lot more to compete with the title contenders of the WNBA. Give me the Connecticut Sun and the reasonable number.
