The Indiana Fever will conclude the 2026 regular season on Thursday night against the Minnesota Lynx. Both teams met on Tuesday, with Indiana coming away with a dominating 96-77 win. Indiana's playoff seeding in the first round will be determined in the final game. The Fever can still finish at 5 or 6 depending on whether they win or lose and what happens with the Washington Mystics.

Regardless, that's nothing to be completely worried about. The Fever just dominated the league's best team. Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell combined for 64 points in that win, proving once again they're unstoppable when things are clicking on all cylinders.

Indiana will now head to Minnesota to complete the regular season. The Fever ended the 2025 regular season with a 24-20 record, so it's already an improvement upon last season that they'll come away with a better finish. The playoffs are another story, as last year's Fever were one win away from reaching the Finals.

Fever Still Have Several Possible Playoff Matchups

The Fever made it known they belong among the league's best when they took down the Lynx on Tuesday.

Clark had previously called the chance to play the Lynx twice heading into the postseason an opportunity to gain confidence. The first round begins on Sunday, so the Fever will have a few days to regroup before their playoff run after the regular season finale on Thursday.

Who the Fever will face in the first round remains to be determined however. If Indiana wins they will be locked into the fifth seed and a date with the Dream starting in Atlanta. However, if they lose they could fall to the sixth seed and square off with either the Las Vegas Aces or Golden State Valkyries, depending on which team winds up in third. Right now that is the defending-champion Aces. But that is true only if the Mystics also win. If both teams lose the Fever will remain in fifth.

Home-court advantage is now off the table for Indiana. So perhaps the best strategy is to simply let the chips fall where they may and make sure the team enters the playoffs playing their best best basketball. It will be interesting to see how Stephanie White approaches this second Lynx matchup as a result.
