The Indiana Fever and the Connecticut Sun share a unique connection. Stephanie White has been the head coach for both teams. Before starting her second stint as the Fever’s head coach, White coached the Connecticut Suns. She did so with amazing success, as she was named the WNBA Coach of the Year in 2023.

The Indiana Fever vs Connecticut Sun rivalry also has a recent playoff history. Led by Caitlin Clark, the Indiana Fever made it to the WNBA playoffs after an eight-year wait. In their return to playoff basketball, the Fever faced the Sun. However, they were handed a 2-0 sweep. In their two meetings so far in this 2025 WNBA season, both teams have won one game against each other. With the teams set to face on July 15, 2025, it will be interesting to see if the Fever continue their winning run or will the Sun get a win back.

Will the Indiana Fever Win Tonight?

According to ESPN’s matchup predictor, the Indiana Fever has a 74.6% chance of winning the game. The Connecticut Sun has had a disappointing season so far. Winning just three games till now, they sit at the bottom of the league in standings and also in all major statistical categories. They are at the bottom of the league for points scored (72.5 per game) and opponents’ points allowed (88.1 per game). 

Meanwhile, the Indiana Fever has a balanced offense and defense. They are fourth in the league in points scored per game (84.5) and fifth in opponents’ points allowed per game (79.5). However, the Sun does have a major advantage in free-throw shooting, where they rank third in the league, as compared to the Fever being 11th. 

If the Sun can exploit this weakness, there is a chance that they could defy the odds and get a surprise win over the high-flying Indiana Fever.
