**WNBA Thursday Preview: Clark Seeks Assist Record, Liberty Favored Against Struggling Sky**

Tonight’s WNBA slate features two compelling matchups centered around the league’s rising young stars, Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese.

Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever are looking to bounce back from a narrow loss to the Atlanta Dream earlier this week. Despite Tuesday’s defeat, the Fever are favored in tonight’s rematch. Dewey highlights Clark’s assist potential, noting that the Dream’s weak defense makes her odds of hitting double-digit assists in 2025 very promising. The team has added several new players, including Natasha Howard, DeWanna Bonner.

In the second game, the New York Liberty, fresh off a dominant season-opening victory over the Las Vegas Aces, are heavy favorites against Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky. The Sky are seeking their first win of the season after a disappointing loss to the Fever, with their offense struggling in the absence of Chennedy Carter. Dewey notes the Sky’s lack of consistent scoring options beyond their rookie duo and questions the decision to let Carter go.

He emphasizes the Liberty’s potent offensive trio of Sabrina Ionescu, Breanna Stewart, and Jonquel Jones, predicting New York will easily overcome a Chicago team lacking offensive firepower.

Dewey’s top pick is for the Liberty to cover the spread against the Sky.
