The Fever (9-7) look to bounce back from two consecutive losses after falling to the Dream, 113-96, on Saturday as Clark led Indiana with 16 points on 11-of-18 shooting. Clark, who ranks third in the WNBA with 21.1 points per game this season, has scored 20+ points in five straight games. The Mercury (5-12) topped the Storm, 93-73, as three Phoenix players amassed double-doubles: Noemie Brochant (16 points, 10 assists), Natasha Mack (10 points, 10 rebounds), and Valériane Vukosavljević (18 points, 10 rebounds).

Tomorrow, Kate Scott (play-by-play) will call Liberty-Aces on USA Network at 10 p.m. ET alongside Lea B. Olsen (analyst) and Edona Thaqi (courtside reporter) live from Michelob ULTRA Arena in Las Vegas. The defending champion Aces (12-4) defeated the Valkyries, 92-73, yesterday behind Jackie Young’s 21 points and A’ja Wilson’s 19-point, nine-rebound effort. The Liberty (11-6) lost to the Sparks, 98-97, yesterday on a buzzer-beating three-pointer by Los Angeles’ Nneka Ogwumike. Tomorrow night’s game on USA Network will also serve as a 2026 WNBA Commissioner’s Cup Final preview as the Aces and Liberty will meet in the championship game next week.

Wednesday night’s doubleheader begins with the WNBA on USA Pregame Show presented by Ford at 7 p.m. ET. Studio coverage features host Lisa Kerney alongside analysts Chamique Holdsclaw and Amy Audibert.

Following the WNBA on USA Pregame Show is a Mercury at Fever rematch at 7:30 p.m. ET as Meghan McPeak (play-by-play) Tamika Catchings (analyst), who played her entire 15-year WNBA career with the Fever and led the team to the 2012 WNBA Championship as Finals MVP, and Paris Lawson (courtside reporter) will call the game on USA Network. Then at 10 p.m. ET on USA Network Carlan Gay (play-by-play) and Edona Thaqi (analyst) will call Angel Reese and the Atlanta Dream visiting the Golden State Valkyries live from Chase Center in San Francisco. USA Sports will also simulcast Wednesday’s Dream-Valkyries game (and all second games of doubleheaders) on CNBC, making sure viewers don’t miss a moment of the action.

The Dream (11-4) lead the Eastern Conference and are riding a three-game winning streak after defeating the Fever on Saturday behind Rhyne Howard’s 24 points. Reese, who scored 18 points and grabbed eight rebounds in the win, became the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 1,000 career rebounds, reaching the mark in 79 games (surpassing Tina Charles’ 89 games). The Valkyries (10-7) fell to the Aces yesterday as Cecilia Zandalasini led the team with 12 points.
