PREVIEW: The Indiana Fever and Connecticut Sun are set to clash in a highly anticipated matchup at TD Garden, with both teams carrying intriguing storylines into the contest. The teams share a unique connection through head coach Stephanie White, who previously coached the Connecticut Sun and was named WNBA Coach of the Year in 2023. Their recent playoff history adds extra spice to the rivalry, with the Sun sweeping the Fever in their playoff return, though their two meetings this season have resulted in one win each. The Fever bring a balanced offensive and defensive approach, ranking fourth in points scored (84.5 per game) and fifth in opponents' points allowed (79.5 per game). The Connecticut Sun have struggled this season, sitting at the bottom of the league in major statistical categories, including points scored (72.5 per game) and opponents' points allowed (88.1 per game). However, their younger players have shown promising development, with French international Leïla Lacan making an immediate impact and rookies like Aneesah Morrow slowly growing into the rotation. Marina Mabrey has been a bright spot for the Sun, while veteran Tina Charles remains one of only two players averaging double-digit points this season. For the Fever, Caitlin Clark's smooth return and Sophie Cunningham's recovery have positioned coach Stephanie White to experiment with different lineups as the roster approaches full strength.
