Key Storylines
- Caitlin Clark remains sidelined for Indiana with a lingering right groin issue and has missed an extended stretch this season. Her absence will continue to force Kelsey Mitchell to step up for the Fever.
- Both of these teams have won two games in a row coming into this contest and will look to extend their winning streaks in this game.
- Both teams are trying to improve their seeding prior to the WNBA playoffs. Golden State is closing in on clinching a playoff berth and a win at home here would be huge for their chances of doing so.
- The Valkyries are playing on the second game of a back-to-back in the Bay Area after facing Washington last night. That could cause the Valkyries problems against a team with a rest advantage.

Final Thoughts
This should be a close game and one that will mean a lot to both teams no matter what happens. I think that the Valkyries having to play for the second day in a row will be detrimental to them in this contest. The Fever have a rest advantage and should be able to pound the Valkyries in the paint. I will lay the points with Indiana in this huge matchup out West.
