Anticipate Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese to continue being a blockbuster matchup for the Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky, because the ticket sales think so too.
Their teams may not be the best in the WNBA, currently fighting for the last two spots of the playoffs, but it doesn’t take away the fact that Clark and Reese have been must-watch basketball for fans taking time out of their day to attend the games.
For the fourth, and possibly final, time this year, the Fever and Sky will duke it out to end the regular season series. Indiana currently leads 2-1, but all three games have been decided by single digits with two of them ending in one-point victories for both sides.
In these games, Clark has averaged 17 points, 9.3 assists, and 7.3 rebounds on great shooting splits of 48.5% overall and 40% from beyond the arc. For Reese, she is putting up 14.7 points, 14 rebounds, and 2.3 assists on 41.2% shooting from the field.
While both teams are two months removed from their last encounter, it doesn’t mean that the fan excitement and anticipation hasn’t dissipated even a bit.
According to TickPick, the average ticket price to go the last Fever-Sky game of the regular season is $334. That means Saturday night will feature the most expensive game in WNBA history.
While $334 may be light compared to how high NBA tickets can be at times, but with Clark and Reese providing this type of impact to the league, it is guaranteed that they will be praised for putting more eyes on the league for their superstar talent.
As things stand, the Fever sit at the seventh spot with a 15-16 record while the Sky try to stay at eighth with an 11-19 record after losing four straight games. Indiana is on pace to make the playoffs, but Chicago is in danger as they are trying to fend off the Atlanta Dream, who are one game behind them with a 10-20 record.
Playoff implications are at stake on Saturday night, making the matchup between Clark’s Fever and Reese’s Sky an undisputed game to watch.
