Indiana Fever
The Indiana Fever head into their final regular season game having already secured a playoff berth. In recent outings, the team has shown impressive form, fighting hard to clinch a place in the top eight and notching two statement victories: a 97-77 home blowout over the Chicago Sky and a dominant 94-65 road win against the Washington Mystics. Offensively, Indiana ranks third in the league, averaging 84.9 points per game. On defense, however, they concede a considerable amount—81.7 points per game on average—putting them eighth in that category.
As for head-to-head battles against Minnesota on their home court, Indiana hasn’t come out on top in the last two meetings. However, in the current six-game series at home, the teams are dead even—three wins apiece.
