Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark is making a clear case for WNBA MVP, even against A'ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces.

Let's start with her team's turnaround. The Fever were 13-27 a year ago and wound up with the number one pick in the draft. They are 18-16 today, already clinched a playoff berth, and have posted a record of 7-1 since play resumed out of the Olympics break. That's with essentially the same roster as last season, aside from Clark's addition.

Everyone on Indiana is eating as the team has had the league's best offense since July 1.
