Indiana Fever vs Dallas Wings Preview
The inter-conference matchup between the Fever and Wings should be an intriguing contest, with both teams looking for wins for different reasons.
The Dallas Wings are currently at the bottom of the standings with a dismal 5-19 record. Coach Latricia Trammell will be desperate to break the team's three-game losing streak with a victory at home over Indiana.
Arike Ogunbowale will be the player to keep an eye on for the Wings. Despite the team's struggles this season, Ogunbowale has been outstanding. The sixth-year guard from the University of Notre Dame is averaging 22.2 points, 5.1 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 2.7 steals per game. She ranks third in the league in points per game and first in steals per game.
After a lackluster start to the year, the Indiana Fever have improved in June and July. Coach Christie Sides' team has had a 10-6 record since June 1 and has won three of its last four games. The team is currently holding on to a playoff spot with an 11-14 record that places it seventh in the league, half a game ahead of the Chicago Sky.
Caitlin Clark has been exceptional as a rookie, exceeding the high expectations that were placed on her coming into the league. The guard is averaging 16.8 points, 7.8 assists, 5.8 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game. Earlier this season, she became the first rookie to record a triple-double in the history of the WNBA.
