Caitlin Clark and Indiana Fever will face off Connecticut Sun in Game 2 of their WNBA playoff series hoping to prolong the matchup to a third game.
Indiana Fever lost in a blowout first game, 93-69 to the dominant Sun’s team where Marina Mabrey broke the playoff record with 27 points coming off the bench. Fever could not control the game because their rebounding was way below expectation.

Key Stats
Indiana Fever
Indiana Fever’s Kelsey Mitchell led the team with 21 points, Aliyah Boston with 17 points and 11 boards, with Caitlin Clark misfiring for 11 points. In Game 1, Fever could only manage 40.3% efficiency from the field, with a low 21.4% from the three-pointers. Indiana will hope for an impressive performance from the rookie of the year, Caitlin Clark to make Game 2 competitive.
Clark conceded that Sun’s defense disrupted their game flow. But, she was confident that they would bring more firepower in Game 2 to push the series to a Game 3 back home.
Connecticut Sun
Connecticut Sun will be looking to get their first first-round sweep in the WNBA playoffs at home against Indiana Fever. During the first game, the home team played a solid team against Clark, limiting her to only 11 points. Alongside Mabrey’s record-breaking performance, DeWanna Bonner recorded 22 points as Alyssa Thomas was impressive with a triple-double.
Sun is climbing the title favorite’s odds after their dominance against a young fever team full of talent. If the Sun beat Fever, they will face the winner of Minnesota and Phoenix in a best-of-5 series to begin on Sunday. However, a loss would push the series to a decider in Indianapolis on Friday evening.
Prediction
Connecticut Sun has the longest-running playoff streak, making it to the playoffs in eight straight seasons and two appearances in the finals. With Sun’s star power, Caitlin Clark and Indiana Fever will struggle to beat them at home on Wednesday. The Sun held the Indiana Fever to less than 70 points in the first game of their WNBA playoff matchup.
Indiana Fever has a talented team, but they will need Clark to score a couple of three-pointers to even make the game a challenge for the hosts. The Sun is a difficult matchup for the Fever and it’s unlikely that the series will progress to a third game.
Final Pick
O163.5, -115
