What the Result Does
This is the harder of Indiana’s two remaining games in one sense and the easier in another. Washington is a playoff team, unlike Toronto on Friday, but it is not Minnesota, who visit on Tuesday to close the season. A win here keeps the Fever level with Atlanta going into the finale; a loss would likely mean needing to beat the best team in the league to hold the four seed.
For Washington the math is about the six through eight seeds. The Mystics, Liberty and Wings are all 25-16, so every result among those three reshuffles the bottom of the bracket, and the difference between six and eight is who you draw in the first round.
Indiana has all three All-Stars available. Kelsey Mitchell leads the team at 25.0 points per game, Caitlin Clark is at 22.5 and 8.4 assists, and Aliyah Boston is at 16.9 and 8.3 rebounds. Full scenarios are on our Fever playoff seeding page, and the running results are on the Fever score page.
