The Dallas Wings visit the Indiana Fever on Tuesday night in a nationally televised game that pits two recent No. 1 WNBA draft picks—rookie guard Paige Bueckers and second-year center Aliyah Boston—against each other at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Tip-off is set for 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN and ESPN+. Dallas arrives on a five-game skid, but Bueckers has been a bright spot, leading all rookies with 18.5 points and 5.3 assists in 34.2 minutes per game. The Wings aim to avoid a season-high sixth straight loss in the teams’ fourth and final regular-season meeting. Indiana will be without star guard Caitlin Clark, sidelined by a right groin injury with no timetable for return. The Fever have also lost guards Sydney Colson (left ACL) and Aari McDonald (broken right foot) for the season. To bolster depth, the club signed veteran Odyssey Sims to a hardship contract and expects her to suit up Tuesday. Alongside Boston, Indiana will lean on scoring guard Kelsey Mitchell against a Dallas roster that has struggled defensively during its recent slide. The matchup offers the Wings a chance to reset their playoff push, while the Fever look to exploit home-court advantage despite their depleted backcourt.
