Caitlin Clark and Fever in the driver's seat to have a better season than Angel Reese's Sky

The Indiana Fever will hope to have a quick start to their 2025 WNBA season when they host the Chicago Sky at GainBridge Fieldhouse in their season opener. Both teams will be eager to start the season strong, but given how drastically the previous season ended for both teams, it will be an interesting watch.

The Chicago Sky finished in last place in the Eastern Conference, while the Fever reached the playoffs after a third-place finish before getting eliminated in the first round. The scene should be similar this time around ,as the Fever are better poised for a deep run compared to the Chicago Sky.

Indiana boasts a playoff-level team, and with the likes of Aliyah Boston and Caitlin Clark leading the charge, the Fever should go far this season. The two teams have new coaches, with the Sky hiring Tyler Marsh. The 36-year-old will be serving as a head coach for the first time, having previously worked as an assistant coach with the Aces.

Meanwhile, the Fever appointed a playoff-caliber coach in Stephanie White. The 2023 WNBA Coach of the Year is one of the most experienced people in the WNBA, both in coaching and playing, and should lead the team to huge success.

Apart from a new coach and still recovering from a poor season, the Chicago Sky could lose Chennedy Carter in the offseason, which would be a huge blow to the Sky. Nevertheless, the Indiana Fever should go deeper this season, even the Finals, if they are all fit and firing.
