How to Watch Fever vs Mystics

Read More on Sports

While the Fever will certainly miss Clark's 19 points, six rebounds, and 9.3 assists per game, they have enough offensive firepower to compete on a nightly basis. Veteran guard Kelsey Mitchell is averaging 17.8 points per game, with former Rookie of the Year Aliyah Boston scoring 18.5 per game to go with 10.8 rebounds and a robust 60.8% field goal percentage. Boston is coming off a monster performance against the New York Liberty, where she scored 27 points on 12-for-19 from the field with 13 rebounds.

After starting the season 2-0, the Mystics have dropped three straight and will look to take advantage of a Clark-less Fever squad. Washington is led in scoring by Brittney Sykes (22.3 per game), a 31-year-old guard who has been thrust into a scoring role after being a fantastic defensive player most of her career. She had never averaged more than 3.8 free-throw attempts over her first eight seasons, but has gotten to the line 11.8 times per game through her first four games.
