The Indiana Fever face the Minnesota Lynx in the final regular-season game of the WNBA season, with significant playoff seeding implications for the Fever. A victory would secure the Fever the fifth seed, whilst a defeat could drop them to sixth place, affecting their postseason pathway. The Lynx, having already clinched the number-one seed, have little to play for and several key players are expected to sit out or see limited action.

Kelsey Mitchell leads the Fever's scoring prowess, having amassed 1,076 points this season to set a single-season scoring record—only the third 1,000-point season in league history and the first by a player other than A'ja Wilson. The Lynx counter with rookie sensation Olivia Miles, who is averaging nearly 20 points per game whilst shooting 50-40-90 and has already surpassed Caitlin Clark's previous rookie scoring record. Napheesa Collier, the Lynx's former MVP, has returned from injury and is contributing 17.5 points and 6.9 rebounds across 15 games.
