The Indiana Fever find themselves traversing a two-game losing streak as they take on the Phoenix Mercury on Sunday. The matchup is set to tip off at 12:30 AM GMT+5:30 at the Footprint Center in Phoenix and pits two teams against each other that need to improve.
After the Fever’s latest 89-77 loss against the Seattle Storm, Christie Sides wants Clark to have at least 15 shots per game. Against the Storm, she finished with 15 points on 4-9 shooting.
The Phoenix Mercury registered a 92-78 victory against a Cameron Brink-less LA Sparks on Friday. The team will once again count on Brittney Griner, Kahleah Copper and Diana Taurasi to come up with the goods.
Regardless, in what appears to be a compelling matchup on paper, the offensive talent on display on both teams might decide this one.
