Ah, we have an interesting jostle here between the Connecticut Sun and the Indiana Fever. Nothing like a good grip 'n' rip to light up the day. Now looking at the playing field you'll spot the Connecticut Sun have been diligently hustling to ensure Tina Charles' splendid dexterity doesn't go unnoticed. Putting up an impressive performance with consistent 17 points per game and contributing fair support from the bench are Marina Mabrey and Olivia Nelson-Ododa.
On the over side of the cacti, it's Indiana Fever clinging tightly to the marquee, flourishing under Caitlin Clark's scoring rocket, hitting 19.0 points on an average each game this season, and don't even get me started about the fantastic Aliyah Boston and her double-digit rebound display.
It's always fun to pull out the old archives and go down memory lane. If you watch the previous dance-offs between these two, you'd notice it's almost like a pendulum. A little swing this way, a little that. Conn Sun nicked three of the last five games, yet Indiana managed to steal the show on crucial occasions.
Season cards have not been particularly courteous to either squads. The Connecticut Sun have met defeat in all of their five recent games whereas Indiana Fever managed to wriggle out with a couple of victories out of five. Standing-wise, Indiana Fever is holding a better stance at #9 against Connecticut Sun's #13.
Now if you ask me who's going to come out tops, my money is on the Indiana Fever, taking advantage of their robust bench. The Sun's recent form hasn't been exactly scorching, and they'll need more than sunscreen to weather this storm. I see the Fever riding a generous wave to success with a solid lead.
