Recent form • Valkyries: Golden State’s uptempo attack averages a league-best 91.4 points and is fresh off a 92-84 victory in Connecticut, where Veronica Burton poured in 17 points and sixth-woman Janelle Salaun added 16 off the bench. • Fever: Indiana has won two straight behind Kelsey Mitchell’s 27-point eruption in Las Vegas and Aliyah Boston’s two-way dominance (19 pts, 11 reb). Clark is averaging 21.8 points and 8.3 assists during July. Key injuries • Golden State lists Swiss forward Gabby Williams (back contusion) as questionable; Iliana Rupert remains out for the season due to pregnancy. • Indiana has Clark on the report as probable despite a lingering back ailment, but she is expected to play heavy minutes. Matchup to watch Clark’s pick-and-roll wizardry versus Valkyries shot-blocker Han Xu will be pivotal. Golden State leads the WNBA in opponent rim FG% (55.1), while Indiana ranks second in drives per game. If Boston can draw Xu away from the paint, Clark should find cleaner lanes to attack or kick to shooters.

The Valkyries’ league-high pace (101.7 possessions) suggests a shootout, but Indiana has held opponents below 80 in three of its last four.
