    Caitlin Clark, Indiana Fever host NY Liberty: Here's how to watch last head-to-head matchup

    It's the fourth and final regular season head-to-head game between the New York Liberty (17-3, 1st in Eastern Conference) versus Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever (8-13, 5th in Eastern Conference) on Saturday at 1 p.m. at Gainbridge FieldHouse

    The first three meetings have been dominated by the Liberty. New York's won each contest by double digits, including two of those affairs being 36-point blowouts.

    The last game was a part of the WNBA's Commissioner Cup, where the Liberty jumped out to a 31-13 lead after the first quarter and didn't look back, shooting 58 percent from the field and 44 percent from three-point range in New York's 104-68 victory on June 2.

    Caitlin Clark was held in check by New York, as she scored a season-low three points on 1-of-10 shooting, including 1-of-7 from behind the three-point line.

    Right now, there's no better team in the WNBA than the Liberty. They've won 17 of their first 20 games, are 10-1 at the Barclays Center this season and have only one loss in the conference -- a 90-81 defeat versus the Chicago Sky -- which came all the way back on May 22.

    Things have undoubtedly gotten much better for the Fever. After a porous 1-8 start, Indiana's won 7 of its last 12 games, with Clark leading the way as she currently sits third in the WNBA in assists per game (APG) at 7.1 in her rookie season.

    Clark's taken it to the next level during this recent stretch, where she's had double digit assists in three of the Fever's last four games.

    Will the Liberty continue to dominate and sweep the season series, or can Clark and the Fever get their revenge on Saturday afternoon?

    Here's how to tune into this Eastern Conference showdown in Indiana this weekend:

    What channel is Liberty vs. Fever on?

    The Liberty-Fever matchup will be airing exclusively on CBS at 1 p.m.

    Following this weekend's matinee, the Liberty only have a handful of Saturday afternoon games that feature are all road contests, including a rematch of last year's WNBA Finals against the Aces later this month:

    Saturday, July 6 at 1 p.m.: at Indiana Fever

    Saturday, July 13 at 1 p.m.: at Chicago Sky

    Saturday, July 17 at 4 p.m.: at Las Vegas Aces

    If you don't have CBS, no need to worry as FuboTV is current offering a free, seven-day trial for new subscribers on the streaming service.

    New York Liberty vs. Indiana Fever prediction for Saturday

    There's no denying the Fever have picked up their play in recent weeks. They're in prime position to be right in the thick of things down the stretch for a potential playoff berth as there's only two games separating them from the current sixth-place Phoenix Mercury.

    Even with the recent success, there's nobody playing quite as well as the Liberty are right now.

    Indiana has been much better at home at this point (4-4) compared to on the road (4-9), but the franchise would need to pull off arguably the upset of the season so far in order to take down New York.

    Clark and the Fever will keep this one more competitive than the previous meetings, but the Liberty still come out on top in this one.

    Prediction: Liberty 88, Fever 79
