The Indiana Fever are hoping a lineup change pays dividends for the second game in a row.Indiana, coming off a 92-87 victory at Dallas, plays at Chicago on Wednesday afternoon. The Fever (6-9) and the Sky (6-8) are battling for the last couple of spots in the eight-team playoff as the league nears the halfway point of the season.Indiana coach Stephanie White inserted guard Erica Wheeler and forward Lynetta Kizer into the starting lineup against Dallas on Saturday. Wheeler scored 15 and Kizer added six as the Fever ended the Wings four-game winning streak.Were looking to find a lineup that can start the game really well on both ends of the floor, looking to find players who can give us a punch off the bench, and looking for the consistency to sustain that for a 40-minute ballgame, White said.It was just something that we did because we wanted to see what a different lineup looked like because we needed to find a way to start the game and third quarter better.Despite the win Saturday, Indiana has lost five of its past seven games.Chicago has dropped four of five, including an 80-79 decision at the New York Liberty on Friday, when forward Elena Delle Donne scored a season-high 31 points. She leads the Sky with an average of 19.7 points per game.Guard Cappie Pondexter is the teams other double-digit scorer, averaging 13.6.The Fever also have two double-digit scorers -- forward Tamika Catchings (13.0) and guard Tiffany Mitchell (11.9).The Sky won the seasons first matchup against the Fever, 73-64 on June 10. Imani Boyette, a 6-foot-7 rookie center from Texas, posted her first career double-double with 16 points and 12 rebounds.Indiana shoots just 27.3 percent from 3-point range -- ranking 11th in the 12-team league -- and that was a factor in the first meeting against Chicago. The Fever was only 4 of 24 from behind the arc in the loss. Guard Briann January led Indiana in that game with 17 points. Carmelo Anthony Jersey Large .5 million, one-year contract on Friday.

As he recorded his 23rd and 24th points of the evening, a segment of the sellout Air Canada Centre crowd expressed their appreciation for the Raptors point guard with a smattering of MVP chants. Fernando Alonso says McLaren cannot expect to replicate its competitive Hungary pace at this weekends German Grand Prix.Alonso finished seventh in every session in Hungary, including qualifying and the race, as he recorded what he called McLarens best weekend of the year so far. The Hungaroring suited McLaren and took the emphasis off Hondas power unit, which is still lacking performance compared to its rivals.McLaren only finished one car in Budapest, with Jenson Button suffering brake issues before a late oil leak, and Alonso wants the team to target a double points finish at Hockenheim.For sure it will be different to Hungary -- we cant expect to be the number four team there, and our midfield rivals will be stronger, but well try to maximise everything we have in our armoury and give it our best shot. The whole team has worked incredibly hard over the first half of the year, so itll be great to be able to have some luck and bring both cars home without any major issues.Button has echoed Alonssos desire for improved reliability but thinks points are up for grabs if the team has a smooth weekend.ddddddddddddLast Sunday in Hungary was a big disappointment on my side of the garage -- we showed a lot of promise throughout the weekend leading up to the race, but on Sunday it seemed that everything that could go wrong, did. Still, thats part of racing and Fernando has had his share of bad luck over the past few races, so it was good he was able to get some points and maintain a good pace.I hope we can regain our form in Germany and enjoy a positive race for both cars before the summer break. After last weekend, the main thing we need to focus on is reliability. If we have that, it at least puts us in a position to see where we are on track and be in the hunt for points. Hopefully the weekend will throw up a surprise or two, and we can both have a smooth weekend. ' ' '
