Connecticut averages just 71.9 points per game, shoots 39.7% from the field, and hauls in only 29.8 boards. On the defensive end, the Sun are getting torched—allowing 89.3 points per game and showing no rim protection at just 2.7 blocks per outing. Marina Mabrey leads the team in scoring at 17.1 points per game, shooting just 39.4%. Injuries remain a concern with Rayah Marshall and Leila Lacan sidelined, and they’ll need better production across the board to stay competitive here.

Indiana comes in at .500, standing at 5-5 overall and 3-3 at home. The Fever looked sharp in the last game, upsetting New York 102-88 behind a high-powered offensive performance. They’ve won three of the last four, including dominant wins over Chicago and Washington, and nearly edged out Connecticut in the previous meeting.

The Fever are the better offensive team, putting up 83.6 PPG while hitting 43.6% from the field. They’re also controlling the boards better at 33.2 per game and have a more active defense that allows 77.6 points and blocks 4 shots a night. Caitlin Clark leads the scoring at 21.6 points per game. DeWanna Bonner is questionable, but Indiana could have a size advantage if she suits up.

Indiana is the better team on both ends. The Fever score nearly 12 more points per game than Connecticut and allow almost 12 fewer, which is a huge differential in a matchup like this. The Sun are struggling offensively and have two key pieces out. Add in Indiana’s home court, Clark back from injury, better depth, and this game looks one-sided. Final Score Prediction: Indiana Fever win 88-70.
