Fever look to extend win streak: How to watch today’s game vs. Sparks
The Indiana Fever tied their longest winning streak since 2015 following the team’s fifth consecutive victory on Sunday, Aug. 3. If the Fever want to extend their streak, however, they will have to go through a Los Angeles Sparks team that has got the best of them so far this season.
The Fever (17-12) will be without Caitlin Clark as the team travels to Los Angeles for Tuesday’s matchup against the Sparks, marking the eighth consecutive Clark has missed with a right groin injury.
Despite Clark’s extended absence, the Fever have rattled off five consecutive wins, most recently a 78-74 road win over the Seattle Storm. The feat is extra impressive considering the Fever are in midst of a daunting stretch of five games in nine days. Fever head coach Stephanie White credited the Fever’s depth and resilience for ‘finding ways to win.’
‘We certainly play a little differently without Caitlin (Clark) on the floor,’ White said on Sunday. ‘But the confidence that each one of these women has gotten in the ability to make plays in big moments, the depth that we have … makes us more balanced on the offensive end.’
The Sparks (12-15) have their own momentum heading into Tuesday’s contest. Los Angeles has won four of its last five games, including a thrilling 108-106 double-overtime road win over the Storm, where four of the Sparks five starters scored 20 or more points.
The Sparks lead the regular-season series against the Fever, 2-0. Los Angeles beat the Fever 85-75 in Indiana on June 26 and defeated the Fever 89-87 in Indiana on July 5. Clark was not in the lineup for either matchup.
