Indiana Fever‘s star guard Caitlin Clark will be sidelined for the tenth game in a row on Saturday evening as the Fever prepare to face the Chicago Sky. Clark has not appeared in any games since the WNBA All-Star Break, and no official return date has been set for her comeback.
Fever’s Performance Without Clark and Upcoming Matchup
Despite Clark’s absence, the Fever have stayed competitive this season and currently hold a 17-14 record. However, recent back-to-back losses to the Los Angeles Sparks and Phoenix Mercury have increased pressure on the team, signaling a critical moment in their campaign. Fortunately for Indiana, they face the struggling Chicago Sky, who have a disappointing 8-23 record. The Fever previously handed the Sky a 93-78 defeat in their last meeting without Clark, and they are hoping to claim another victory tonight.

Oddsmakers at FanDuel Sportsbook have made Indiana a 10.5-point favorite at home for this matchup, indicating confidence in the Fever’s ability to win without their star. The game’s total points are projected at 162.5. WNBA betting analyst Peter Dewey has provided his expert pick for this game in a recent betting preview, offering further insight for bettors.
