It's the fourth and final regular season head-to-head game between the New York Liberty (17-3, 1st in Eastern Conference) and 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, who have won each 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 their 104-68 victory on June 2.

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 Barclays Center this season, and have only one loss in the conference -- a 90-81 defeat to 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 has won 7 of its last 12 games, with Clark leading the way as she sits third in the WNBA in assists per game (APG) at 7.1 in her rookie season.

Clark has 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?

NY 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 (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
