Fever vs Lynx predictions
When you look at the Indiana Fever roster, it’s impossible not to start with Kelsey Mitchell. Coming off that sizzling 32-point performance, she’s playing with serious confidence and her scoring touch has been dialed in all season. You can bet she’ll draw extra defensive attention from Minnesota, but Mitchell is used to working under pressure—expect another strong outing, probably landing somewhere in the low-to-mid 20s in points. Aliyah Boston, the engine in the frontcourt, is always reliable on the glass. She’s been crashing the boards with authority, and her passing sets the Fever offense in motion, so a near double-double feels totally within reach for her, especially if the team gets out running in transition.
Now, when it comes to the Minnesota Lynx, it’s all about Napheesa Collier. She’s having an absolute breakout year, stuffing the stat sheet on a nightly basis. Don’t be surprised if Collier turns in another big performance, easily cracking 20 points and threatening double-digit rebounds—the kind of line that puts Minnesota in prime position early. And with Courtney Williams running the show at the point, the Lynx offense should stay efficient and in rhythm. Williams has an uncanny way of finding her teammates right where they want the ball, so a high assist total from her feels like a lock. They’ve got home-court energy on their side at the Target Center, and that never hurts either.
So how’s this one going to play out? These teams both have star power, but recent form favors Minnesota. The Lynx are rolling, boasting a much better record and a lineup that seems to complement each other perfectly. Indiana’s flashes of brilliance—Mitchell’s last game, for example—definitely make them a threat, but Minnesota just feels like a more complete and consistent squad right now. If you’re picking a winner, the smart money is on the Lynx holding it down at home for another statement victory. Anyone else feeling a playoff vibe from this matchup already?
