The Fever aren't the only team that looks much improved this season in the WNBA. Atlanta is looking like a top-five team and has a better record than Indiana.

The Dream had won four in a row, the latest being an impressive road victory against the Storm, until losing their last game. That was a stunning upset to the Sun this past Friday.

Atlanta is not in letdown mode for this one. Quite the opposite. The Dream have had four days to stew about that defeat. They should be heavily motivated to take on the Fever, who not only will be missing superstar Caitlin Clark, but also Sophie Cunningham.

Indiana isn't in Atlanta's class without Clark. The Fever are 2-2 minus Clark beating the Mystics and Sky, whose combined record is 6-13, while scoring victories against the Sun and Mystics. Atlanta is the best team the Fever are facing without Clark.

The Fever are hoping to have Clark back for their following game, which is a nationally televised home game against the defending champion Liberty on Saturday. That's the game the Fever are pointing to.
