The WNBA regular season ends with a high-stakes rematch Thursday as the Indiana Fever visit the Minnesota Lynx at Target Center in Minneapolis. Tip-off is set for 8 p.m. ET on USA Network, with streaming available through the USA app, Fubo, YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, and other services carrying the network.
This is the second meeting in three days between the clubs. On Tuesday in Indianapolis, Caitlin Clark poured in 27 points with nine assists and seven rebounds while Kelsey Mitchell added 20, powering the Fever to a decisive 96-77 victory. That win kept Indiana’s faint hopes of a top-four seed and first-round home-court advantage alive for one more night. Minnesota still locked up the No. 1 overall seed after Golden State’s loss elsewhere.
The Lynx (32-11) enter the finale as the league’s top team and will look to close the regular season on a positive note at home. The Fever (28-15) sit fifth and need strong results and help from other games to climb into better playoff positioning. Both sides already know they will meet again in the postseason picture, but Thursday offers one last chance to gain momentum, test matchups, and settle regular-season pride.
Clark’s playmaking, Mitchell’s scoring surge, and Indiana’s balanced attack face a Minnesota squad featuring Napheesa Collier and a deep supporting cast that has dominated most of the year. Expect intensity from tip to final buzzer in what has become one of the league’s most intriguing late-season series.
Mark your calendar. The final regular-season chapter between these two is ready for primetime.
