Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever are looking to climb the WNBA mountaintop, but they will have to go through teams who have already reached the apex to make it there themselves. The New York Liberty are coming off a championship season and looking to add to their ring collection. The early returns on this season show that Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu and Co. are very capable of going back-to-back.
