Indiana Fever vs. Minnesota Lynx: Players to watch

Rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has taken the WNBA by storm with some dazzling performances in her first year in the league. The point guard has been instrumental in the team's recovery after a dismal 1-8 start to the season. Clark leads the roster in points (17.8), assists (8.3) and steals (1.4).

The Lynx will look to four-time WNBA All-Star Napheesa Collier to lead them against a resilient Fever side. Collier averaging 20.7 points, 10.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 2.1 steals per game over 24 starts. She was also a member of the USA women's Olympics team that took home the gold medal in Paris this summer.
