Fever vs Liberty Live Stream: Start Time, TV Channel & Key Matchups as Caitlin Clark Faces Breanna Stewart

Fever vs Liberty: How to watch, injury updates, and what to expect in tonight’s WNBA showdown The fourth and final regular-season clash between the Indiana Fever and New York Liberty tips off tonight (7:00 p.m. ET, ESPN/ESPN+) at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, and the stakes could not be higher for two teams headed in opposite directions. New York leads the season series 2-1 and sits atop the Eastern Conference, while Indiana fights to stay above .500 and keep playoff positioning. Caitlin Clark game-time decision Indiana’s rookie sensation aggravated a right-groin strain late in Tuesday’s win over Connecticut and was held out of the Fever’s last meeting with New York, a 98-77 loss on July 16. Head coach Christie Sides said Clark completed light work at shoot-around and will be re-evaluated during warm-ups. The Fever are 4-6 this season when Clark sits, underscoring how critical her 18.9 ppg and league-best 7.2 apg are to Indiana’s offense. Jonquel Jones expected back Liberty center Jonquel Jones (sprained ankle) is expected to make her first appearance in nearly a month, giving New York a formidable front-court trio with Breanna Stewart (22.8 ppg, 9.7 rpg) and MVP candidate Sabrina Ionescu, who torched Indiana for 15 points and nine assists in the last matchup. Key matchup • Kelsey Mitchell vs Sabrina Ionescu – Mitchell has averaged 21.7 ppg in three games against New York but must also chase Ionescu off the three-point line (42.5 %). • Paint battle – Aliyah Boston will have her hands full with Stewart and Jones; keeping New York off the glass is critical after the Liberty’s +12 rebounding margin on July 16. How to watch & stream • TV: ESPN / ESPN+ (national) • Streaming: WNBA League Pass (out-of-market), fuboTV trial, ESPN app • Radio: SiriusXM channel 84 (WNBA) Projected starting lineups Fever: Clark* (or Erica Wheeler), Mitchell, Lexie Hull, Boston, Temi Fagbenle Liberty: Courtney Vandersloot, Ionescu, Betnijah Laney-Hamilton, Stewart, Jones *Clark’s status will be confirmed 30 minutes before tip-off. Betting odds & prediction Sportsbooks opened New York as a 10.5-point favorite with an over/under of 171. If Clark plays, expect a tighter contest, but the Liberty’s depth and home-court advantage give them the edge. Prediction: Liberty 93, Fever 82. Why it matters A Fever win evens the season series and could vault Indiana into sole possession of second place in the East. For New York, a victory secures the tiebreaker and keeps the Liberty on pace for the league’s best record, crucial for home court throughout the playoffs.
