Caitlin Clark will be the main attraction at the arena on Wednesday. The former Iowa Hawkeyes star was the first overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft and is an early contender for the Rookie of the Year award.

Kelsey Mitchell will start in the backcourt alongside Clark. Indiana Fever coach Christie Sides has been relatively consistent with her starting lineup and will likely round out the first five with Aliyah Boston, NaLyssa Smith and Katie Lou Samuelson.

Temi Fagbenle, who missed the last game with a thumb injury, is expected to be back in the rotation.

The Dallas Wings will be without four players, with Jaelyn Brown, Maddy Siegrist, Awak Kuier and Satou Sabally all on the injury report.

Arike Ogunbowale will be key for the Wings as they look to break their three-game losing streak. The guard has started 23 games this season and is averaging 22.2 points, 5.1 assists and 4.7 rebounds.

The Wings have had 11 different players start games this season so it will be tough to predict who Latricia Trammell opts for against the Indiana Fever. With several injuries to deal with, Jacy Sheldon, Odyssey Sims, Natasha Howard and Teaira McCowan should complete the starting five.

Indiana Fever vs Dallas Wings: Game Preview

The Wings have struggled to take flight this season, with just five wins from their first 24 games. Latricia Trammell's side currently sits in last place in the Western Conference and holds the worst record (5-19) in the league.

The Indiana Fever, meanwhile, are doing everything they can to remain in the playoff hunt. After a difficult start to the season, a string of strong performances has catapulted Indiana to an 11-14 record, placing them seventh overall in the standings, half a game above the Chicago Sky.

Indiana will be looking to continue its hot streak in Arlington on Wednesday. After back-to-back wins over the Phoenix Mercury and Minnesota Lynx, the team has won three of their last four games.

A dominant performance from Kelsey Mitchell in her last game will have Indiana fans confident about securing another road win. She finished with 21 points, four rebounds and three assists in the 81-74 win over the Lynx on Sunday.

The Dallas Wings will need to contain Caitlin Clark and Mitchell if they hope to have any chance of an upset. They currently rank last in the league as a team in defensive rating and opponent points in the paint.
