Even while second-year guard Caitlin Clark remains out with a right groin strain, Indiana (16-12) is riding a four-game surge. Clarks absence has forced a democratic bend: The Fever are 8-7 without her, behind Aliyah Bostons 54.4 percent shooting and Kelsey Mitchells 19.9 points a night. In an 88-78 win over the Dallas Wings on Friday night, Boston recorded her fifth straight double-double (12 points, 11 rebounds) and Mitchell put up a game-high 23 points.
Seattle (16-12) counters with 2016 MVP Nneka Ogwumike (18.1 points per game), who shined in a double-OT loss to her former team, the Los Angeles Sparks. Ogwumike crossed the 7,000-point threshold with her 37-point outing on Friday, becoming just the sixth player in WNBA history to reach that career milestone. The Storm also rely on center Ezi Magbegors rim protection and a rejuvenated Skylar Diggins, whose All-Star Game triple-double was followed by another in just 23 minutes against the Connecticut Sun on July 28.
Indiana claimed the lone prior meeting between these two teams, 94-86 on June 24, when Boston erupted for a career-high 31 in this same arena. Both clubs play around the same pace, so rebounding and turnovers loom large. If Boston limits Ogwumikes second-chance looks and Mitchell stays tidy under pressure, the Fever could secure their first five-game win streak of the season.
Seattle has a tough stretch ahead before its Aug. 15 meeting with the Atlanta Dream in Vancouver, the first WNBA regular-season game held outside the United States. The Storm have the Minnesota Lynx, Las Vegas Aces and Sparks on tap before back-to-back showdowns against the Dream.
