Indiana Fever vs New York Liberty Players Stats and Box Scores for May 18 | 2024 WNBA Season

The Indiana Fever is looking to bring down the New York Liberty and get its first win of the season. The Fever face the Libery at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

Caitlin Clark is ready to turn things around and have a statement game against one of the best teams in the WNBA. After two disappointing performances, the NCAA legend knows it's time to shake the bad things off and put on her best game.

On the other end, the clear favorites, New York Liberty, are ready to extend their unbeaten run and grab the third win of the season. Led by the star duo of Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu, this team aspires to emulate what they did on Thursday and seep the Fever out of the court as soon as possible.

While Caitlin Clark is trying hard to keep his squad in the game, the Liberty is a huge rival that has gotten a big advantage ahead of halftime. Clark's 15 points are an improvement from the prior two duels, but the rest of the team isn't helping her and the Liberty are cashing in on that.

As stated before, Stewart and Ionescu are the biggest threat to the Fever (both have nine points right now). Moreover, Jonquel Jones (10 points) and Courtney Vandersloot (eight) have risen to the occasion, helping their team hold a nearly 20-point lead at halftime of the Indiana Fever vs New York Liberty game.
