The New York Liberty will head to the Gainbridge Fieldhouse to take on Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever on Saturday. The Liberty have hit the ground running after winning the first two games. The reigning champs have shown their quality by churning out wins despite missing Betnijah Laney-Hamilton.
The Fever are not to be taken lightly as they have taken a big step forward this season. The team is putting more effort on defense and their offseason acquisitions are starting to mesh with the other starters. Caitlin Clark seems to be taking a step closer to her lofty ceiling with each game.
New York looks as strong as last season and while the Fever have shown improvements, they’re still far from competing with the reigning champs. As Indiana continues to build chemistry, the team might be able to go toe-to-toe with contenders like the Liberty, Minnesota Lynx, Las Vegas Aces and more.
