Indiana Fever
The Indiana Fever enter this game riding high after capturing the 2025 Commissioner's Cup, defeating Minnesota on the road with a convincing 74-59 in the final. In that championship clash, Natasha Howard stood out (16 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists), while Aliyah Boston nearly posted a triple-double with 12 points, 11 rebounds, and 6 assists.
In the regular season standings, the Fever sit eighth with an even 8–8 record. Over their last four games, Indiana has suffered just one defeat—an unexpected home loss to Los Angeles. Overall, they've been inconsistent on their home court, splitting four wins and four losses.
The Fever’s offense has been sharp, ranking fourth in the league with an average of 84.1 points per game. Defensively, they’re less reliable, allowing 80.1 points a night.
