 How to watch Fever at Sky: Slumping Chicago aims to end skid vs. Indiana

The Fever and Sky will meet for the third time this season, the second of which will be at the United Centre, when they play on Sunday afternoon. It's a challenging time for Chicago, which is on a four-game losing streak and may be missing All-Star forward Angel Reese.

Indiana urgently needs wins to be in the playoff race while Caitlin Clark is out. Will they be the latest squad to hand the Sky a lopsided loss?

Reese missed Chicago's most recent game, a 95-57 loss to the Seattle Storm, due to a back ailment. She's officially listed as day-to-day heading into Sunday's game against the Fever, but the Sky will be hoping for an upgrade as tipoff approaches. Reese has been on a tear in her previous ten games, averaging 17.4 points, 14.5 rebounds, and four assists while shooting 50.4 percent from the field and 81.1 percent from the line.

Chicago's 38-point loss to the Storm was its worst of the season, just edging a 37-point loss to the Atlanta Dream shortly before the All-Star break. Second-year centre Kamilla Cardoso led the way with 13 points and 13 rebounds, but the Sky committed 19 turnovers and 14 assists while connecting on 21 of 62 field-goal attempts. The absence of Ariel Atkins (leg) was also significant.

Chicago has three less efficient performances this season, two of which have came against the Fever. The Sky shot just over 29 percent in a 93-58 loss in Indianapolis in mid-May before going 18-for-56 from the field in a 27-point loss in early June.

Clark was not available for the latter blowout, and she has been ruled out of Sunday's game due to a groin issue. Indiana's superstar guard has yet to set a comeback date, potentially putting the team at risk of dropping out of playoff contention with just under 20 games remaining.

Fortunately, the Fever still have other All-Stars to rely on during her absence. Kelsey Mitchell (21 points) led Indiana's 80-70 victory over the Las Vegas Aces on Thursday, and Aliyah Boston has frequently been the best player on the court, even when Clark is available.

There is little cause to be concerned about Indiana in this situation, but time is running out for Chicago. With a 7-17 record, the Sky would need to substantially improve in the second half of the season to make a postseason push, and there is little evidence to suggest that this squad is capable of doing so.
