Fever vs Wings: When Defense Takes a Backseat, Who Will Seize the Win?

The Wings are with their stud, Paige Bueckers. There is a quiet narrative around the league that she is having a better rookie season than Clark. It might actually be somewhat true. Bueckers is averaging 18.3 points per game, 5.5 assists, 3.9 rebounds, and 1.8 steals. Clark led her team to the playoffs while averaging 19.2 points, 8.4 assists, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.3 steals. The difference is that Bueckers has a significantly worse starting point and team. The Fever had better players than what the Wings have. However, the Wings have been playing better than they were last year. They are even playing better than they did earlier in the year. After starting the season 1-11, the team has gone 7-9 over the past 16 games. The good news for them is that between Bueckers and Ogunbowale, they should have more than enough to build the team on. The team is allowing opponents a lot of points, still. Opponents are averaging 86.5 points against them.
