Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve appreciates the WNBA\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

On Sunday afternoon, Reeve and fans everywhere will be able to witness the league\u2019s present \u2014 and its future.<\/p>\n

Star players like Indiana\u2019s Caitlin Clark and Minnesota\u2019s Olivia Miles will square off when the Fever (19-10) play the Lynx (24-6) in Minneapolis. The Lynx have won nine games in a row, while the Fever have won five straight.<\/p>\n

Clark and Miles have been huge reasons for their teams\u2019 success.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe knew a time when we had (Sue Bird) and Diana (Taurasi), and that sort of thing,\u201d Reeve said. \u201cThis next era of guard play \u2014 Caitlin Clark will be a big part of that. Olivia Miles will be a big part of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no surprise that both players are receiving buzz as Most Valuable Player candidates.<\/p>\n

Clark is averaging 21.6 points, 8.0 assists and 4.1 rebounds for Indiana. She is shooting 44.6% overall, 35.5% from 3-point range and 86.8% from the free-throw line.<\/p>\n

In her most recent game, Clark notched a triple-double with 26 points, 10 assists and 10 boards. She helped Indiana pull away for a 112-98 road win against the Portland Fire on Friday.<\/p>\n

Fever coach Stephanie White said her players still could reach another level of improvement.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought we had some moments where we were really good,\u201d White said. \u201cObviously, when we get 31 points off of turnovers, I think that\u2019s really good for us. We had some moments where our execution was really good.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re still a work in progress, and a coach is never going to be happy. I liked some of the adjustments we were able to make and execute, and now we\u2019ve got to just continue to work toward growing it for 40 minutes of consistency.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Miles has wasted no time showing her skills since the Lynx drafted her No. 2 overall during the offseason. The dazzling rookie playmaker is averaging 19.4 points, 5.8 assists and 4.7 rebounds, and she is shooting 49.2% overall, 37.3% from beyond the arc and 87.2% from the charity stripe.<\/p>\n

Miles and the Lynx welcomed another superstar back to the lineup when Napheesa Collier returned in July. In her first three games since returning from offseason ankle surgery, Collier is averaging 18.3 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists.<\/p>\n

Miles\u2019 no-look passes and slithery drives to the paint have caught the league\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n

That includes Clark, who joined Miles in Chicago for the WNBA\u2019s All-Star weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always been a fan of hers, even when she was in college,\u201d Clark said. \u201cShe just plays with incredible pace. It\u2019s never too fast, it\u2019s never too slow.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can see her creative juices flowing on the floor. \u2026 (It\u2019s fun to see) the way she\u2019s come into the league, and just been pretty flawless, in a way.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Lynx are 11-4 at home this season and the Fever are 8-5 on the road. The teams will meet again in the final two games of the regular season on Sept. 22 in Indianapolis and Sept. 24 in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n
