The Indiana Fever are looking to get their third win over the Washington Mystics this season on Wednesday. The Fever won the season's first two matchups on June 7 and 19. The Mystics have played much better recently after starting the season 0-12.
Caitlin Clark is coming off the first triple-double of her career, which is historic since it's also the first triple-double recorded by a rookie. Clark finished with 19 points, 12 rebounds and 13 assists in the Fever's huge win against the New York Liberty, the best team in the league at the moment.
On the other hand, the Mystics have lost two straight games heading into Wednesday's game. They were blown out by the back-to-back defending WNBA champions Las Vegas Aces on July 4 and lost a hard-fought game against the Minnesota Lynx on Saturday.
