 Indiana Fever vs. Washington Mystics: What to watch, the odds, and predictions Caitlin Clarke

This Friday night's WNBA Commissioner's Cup action has the Indiana Fever (2-9) taking on the Washington Mystics (0-10).

After suffering a 104-68 road loss to the New York Liberty, the Fever's third defeat to New York this season, Indiana got five days off. In the defeat, rookie sensation Caitlin Clark finished with a season-low three points on one of ten shots. In the defeat, NaLyssa Smith scored 17 points while Kelsey Mitchell scored a career-high 21 points.

This week's 76-59 loss to the Connecticut Sun and 79-71 loss to the Chicago Sky kept the Mystics' poor start to the season going. In terms of offensive rating (92.2) and points per game (72.7), Washington is bottom of the WNBA. The game tonight is the second in a back-to-back after the Sky defeat.

Will Washington ultimately secure their first victory of 2024, or will the Fever secure their third victory of the campaign? Here are some details regarding the match:
