The Indiana Fever continue their six-game homestand on Friday, facing off against the Minnesota Lynx. Both teams split their season series, with Indiana winning 81-74 on July 14, and Minnesota claiming a 90-80 victory on August 24. The Fever, riding a five-game win streak, enter this matchup with momentum after defeating the Los Angeles Sparks 93-86 on Wednesday. Caitlin Clark, fresh off winning Eastern Conference Player of the Month and Rookie of the Month honors, recorded her second triple-double of the season in that game, becoming the sixth player in WNBA history to achieve multiple triple-doubles.
Minnesota, currently third in the standings, poses a potential playoff matchup for sixth-seeded Indiana. The Lynx, led by Napheesa Collier (20.4 ppg, 9.8 rpg), have also been dominant, losing just one game in August. Guard Courtney Williams, with her 22-point, six-assist performance against the Chicago Sky, will be a key player to watch.
Both teams are closely matched statistically, with Indiana ranking second in field goal percentage (45.3%) and fourth in blocks (4.6), while Minnesota ranks first in assists per game (23.3) and closely trails Indiana in blocks per game (4.3). Friday’s game promises to be a thrilling showdown between two rising WNBA powerhouses.
