The Indiana Fever (0-4) will look to get their first win on the road when they take on the Seattle Storm (1-3) in Climate Pledge Center.

Last season, the Storm beat the Fever two out of three times in all regular season matchups. 

Seattle are looking to bounce back after their loss to the New York Liberty, while the Fever almost tasted victory in their last outing against the Connecticut Sun. However, they came up short with second-year center Aliyah Boston missing the go-ahead layup that would have put them in a winning situation.  

Both teams have gotten off to an underwhelming start and can see a potential win tonight as a confidence booster.

Caitlin Clark vs. Nika Muhl

Former UConn star Nika Muhl is expected to make her WNBA season debut for the Storm tonight after dealing with visa issues. 

Muhl made an appearance in the preseason coming off the bench, but was sidelined for Seattle's first four games while waiting to be cleared for a work visa.

It's likely the second round pick will get a chance to face off against Caitlin Clark once again after meeting in the 2024 NCAA Final Four, when Iowa matched up against UConn.

The former Husky will be one of the guards tasked with slowing down Clark, who is slowly but surely putting it together after a rough start to her WNBA career.  

Despite the Fever remaining winless, Clark has so far shown some flashes of greatness in her last outing against the Connecticut Sun. She had 17 points on 5 of 11 shooting including going 3-7 from 3 point territory.  

Will Catlin Clark be able to replicate that performance against the Storm?

Players to Watch

Jewell Loyd (SEA) hasn't quite had it going like she did last season. The All-Star guard is still looking for her shot in the early stages of the season. As it shows, she only dropped 13 points on 5-17 shooting against the Liberty, so Loyd could possibly be looking for a big performance tonight.

Aliyah Boston has been a real inside presence for Indiana. In her last game, she managed to grab eight rebounds while blocking three shots. So far, Boston has managed to get a block in each of the Fever's games this season.
