The Indiana Fever head to Target Center on Sunday for a nationally televised clash with the Minnesota Lynx, carrying a five-game winning streak and the WNBA’s most prolific offense. Minnesota enters as the league’s top team at 24-6, holding a three-game cushion over the rest of the Western Conference. Indiana sits at 19-10, leading the East.

Both offenses arrive in elite form. The Fever are averaging 96.4 points per game — the highest mark in the league — while Minnesota ranks second at 92.2. The Lynx have also won nine straight. Something has to give.

Clark’s Record Night in Portland

Friday’s 112-98 win over the Portland Fire was built on another milestone performance from Caitlin Clark. She posted 26 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, recording the fourth triple-double of her WNBA career and tying New York Liberty’s Sabrina Ionescu for third on the all-time list, behind Jessica Shepard and Alyssa Thomas.

Clark also became the fastest player in league history to reach 1,500 points and 500 assists, doing so in just 78 games, per CBS Sports. Fever head coach Stephanie White noted after the game that Clark’s growth as a defensive rebounder has been a key development this season alongside her scoring and facilitating.

The performance capped a remarkable second half of July. Clark had struggled earlier in the month, shooting 3-for-19 from three-point range through the first two weeks, before rebounding with a career-high 45-point game against Seattle on July 17 — the first time any WNBA player had combined 40-plus points with 10-plus assists.

Kelsey Mitchell Riding Historic Scoring Run

Clark is not the only Fever player rewriting record books. Kelsey Mitchell has scored at least 20 points in 13 consecutive games, tying Diana Taurasi for the second-longest such streak in WNBA history, per The Sporting News. Mitchell averaged 27.2 points per game across July.

Indiana has also scored 100 or more points in each of its last five games — the longest such streak in league history.

What Minnesota Brings

The Lynx are not merely a product of a soft schedule. Their nine-game winning streak is the longest currently active in the WNBA, and SI.com reports that star forward Napheesa Collier has returned from an ankle injury, giving Minnesota one of the deepest starting lineups in the league. Rookie Olivia Miles has also pushed herself into the MVP conversation this season.

Oddsmakers installed the Lynx as clear home favorites. Per DraftKings via SI, Minnesota is priced at -218 on the moneyline, with a spread of -5.5 (-115). The game total is set at 193.5. The Lynx are 11-4 at home this season.

Schedule Context for Indiana

CBS Sports noted that Indiana’s recent winning streak came largely against struggling opposition — two wins over last-place Seattle, one each against Connecticut and Portland, both below .500, plus a game against a Liberty side barely holding a playoff spot. Sunday marks a genuine step up in class.

This is also the first meeting between these two teams in 2026, adding extra intrigue to what is already one of the season’s most anticipated regular-season matchups.
