The New York Liberty will face Indiana in a highly anticipated WNBA matchup on Tuesday night, with the Fever set to enter the game at full strength. Just prior to their current winning streak, New York faced Indiana and lost by 20 points, which would have resulted in Caitlin Clark missing the next game due to receiving her eighth technical foul of the season.

However, the league swiftly rescinded the technical foul, allowing Clark to play. New York has won four straight games and seven of their last eight, thanks to the strong performances of their top three players: Breanna Stewart, Jonquel Jones, and Sabrina Ionescu. The Liberty are currently seventh in the standings, just two games behind third-place Las Vegas.

After a 40-point win over the defending champion Aces on Sunday, the Liberty are eager to avenge their loss to Indiana.
