Clark turned in one of the most remarkable rookie seasons in recent memory last year and finished it with 40.5 points, assists and rebounds (PAR) in her last eight full regular season games. She excelled against the Sky after the Olympic break averaging 41.0 PAR over the last three matchups. Expect Clark to go off in her season debut. — Snellings

Reese made her name as a rebounder, leading the league with 13.1 RPG in 32.5 MPG as a starter last season. But new Sky head coach Tyler Marsh has emphasized that her versatility can go well beyond the glass. One area of growth? Playmaking. With veterans like Courtney Vandersloot, Ariel Atkins, Kia Nurse and Rebecca Allen in the mix, Chicago's offense should run more smoothly — giving Reese more chances to create for others and go over this assist number. — Moody

There's a lot of excitement around the Fever heading into the season and Boston is a key part of Indiana's foundation
