Stephanie White and her Connecticut Sun team will be looking to maintain its 100% record against the Indiana Fever this WNBA season on Wednesday. The Fever, despite its turnaround in form, are very much the underdogs against the Sun, who recorded two blowout wins and a narrow victory against them earlier this season.
The Sun has already secured a playoff spot and currently holds the second-best position with a 22-7 record. They are unbeaten in the last three league games; a run that has seen wins against the New York Liberty, Chicago Sky and Los Angeles Sparks, ensuring they enter the game with the wind truly in their sails.

The Fever, on the other hand, comes into the game following a strong performance against the Atlanta Dream. Since the Olympic break, Christie Sides’ team has proven to be grueling opponents for the teams in the league, with victories over the Phoenix Mercury and Seattle Storm.
They currently sit seventh in the standings, three wins ahead of the eighth-placed Chicago Sky and two wins behind the sixth-placed Mercury. A victory in this matchup would be crucial in their fight for the playoffs.
