Fever vs Mercury expert predictions, picks for July 30

Chloe Peterson, IndyStar: Mercury 78-72

“Indiana and Phoenix will play for the first time on Wednesday, with the Mercury coming to Indianapolis for their third of a six-game road trip over the East Coast in a week and a half.

“The Mercury, which reloaded in the offseason, has a lot of star power in MVP candidate Alyssa Thomas, forward Satou Sabally, and guard Kahleah Copper. Thomas embodies the role of a point forward, averaging a league-leading 9.4 assists per game, while Sabally is averaging 18.0 points per game.

“All three of their big three have been plagued with injury issues this season so far, they are all healthy coming into Indianapolis. And the Mercury, despite those injuries, have managed a 16-9 record to be No. 3 in the standings.

“Indiana will still be without its star, Caitlin Clark, who doesn’t have a timetable to return from her right groin injury. The Fever have found spurts of success without her, but haven’t been able to put together those types of games consistently.”

Is Caitlin Clark playing against the Phoenix Mercury?

Caitlin Clark has not played since suffering a right groin injury on July 15. She sought a second opinion during the team’s trip to New York.

The Fever announced there were no signs of additional damage or injuries, and they are maintaining a long-term focus on her recovery, prioritizing her future health. There is no timetable for her return.
