Why Caitlin Clark’s Return Could Ignite Indiana’s Darkest Basketball Comeback Yet
The Fever have allowed slightly fewer points per game with Clark out of the lineup (81.5 in games with Clark and 80.9 in games without her), but some of that is because they’re playing at a slower pace. The team is actually holding opponents to a much better field goal percentage with Clark in the lineup. Teams shoot 40.9% against the Fever in games Clark has played compared to 45.7% in games she hasn’t.
Clark gets compared to Stephen Curry a lot, but it’s usually about their offensive games. It’s fair to compare them on defense, too, where both players manage to be better than popular opinion despite shouldering huge offensive burdens.
