Caitlin Clark's Indiana Fever is set to square off against the Las Vegas Aces in T-Mobile Arena on Tuesday. After defeating the Phoenix Mercury (88-82) and nearly achieving a triple-double against players like Diana Taurasi and Brittney Griner, the Fever will rely on their star guard to lead them to victory once again.
The resurgent Aces will be looking to improve their record after an iffy start to the season. The return of star guard Chelsea Gray has coincided with a four-game win streak, which has seen them improve their win total to 10-6.
The first time these two teams faced off this season, the Fever fell to the Aces 99-80.
Aces' MVP A'ja Wilson has been in stunning touch of late but faltered in her team's latest win over the Washington Mystics. She only scored 11 points on 4-11 shooting.
