The Minnesota Lynx and Indiana Fever face off in their final two games of the regular season, starting with an 8 p.m. ET Tuesday night tipoff from Gainbridge Fieldhouse, and I'm diving into the matchup with my Lynx vs. Fever prediction.
My free WNBA picks expect Caitlin Clark to stay hot with another strong scoring performance at home in a pivotal contest with major playoff implications.
I'm also eyeing the game total, and taking the Over on scoring lines for Napheesa Collier and Kelsey Mitchell.
TOP PICK
Lynx vs Fever prediction: Caitlin Clark Over 19.5 points (52%)
Caitlin Clark’s scoring line is set far too low based on her season-long production for the Indiana Fever. I’d expect this line to be set at 24.5, and I’d play it up that high, making it a tremendous value option at 19.5.
The superstar guard is averaging 24.5 points per game at home compared to 20.8 on the road, and she’s reached the 20-point threshold in 15 of 19 appearances at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
Clark is averaging 25.2 points while scoring 20-plus in 11 of her last 12 games. She’s cleared this line in six straight at home. She produced a 25-point effort in her only other home matchup against Minnesota.
COVERS INTEL: Clark has been excelling at home. Among players averaging 20-plus minutes per game, she leads the W in usage rate at 32.6%, and Clark ranks third in offensive rating at 117.2.
TOP PICK
Lynx vs Fever combo
Napheesa Collier has scored 20-plus points in six of 14 games for the Minnesota Lynx, averaging 16.6 at home and 19.6 on the road. Leading scorer Olivia Miles is questionable with a calf injury, and her absence could mean additional offensive responsibilities for Collier. Even if Miles is available, I’ll still play this one up to 20.5, as the Fever rank 11th in defensive rating and allow the most PITP per game.
The Fever’s offense has clicked with Clark in the lineup, posting a 110.8 offensive rating and 90.4 ppg since she was drafted in 2024. Indiana leads the W in Over percentage at 61.9% and ppg at home (99.2). Minnesota ranks fourth in road scoring at 90 ppg.
Even if Miles is sidelined, Minnesota boasts more than enough firepower to put up points against a Fever defense surrendering 91.2 ppg at home. Play this to 189.5.

TOP PICK
Lynx vs Fever player prop: Kelsey Mitchell Over 24.5 points (58%)
Kelsey Mitchell is the WNBA’s single-season scoring record-holder, and with two games to go, she’s eyeing history as the first player to reach 1,100 points in one regular season.
Mitchell has scored 25-plus points in 24 of 42 games, good for 57% of her appearances. She posted 37 points against the Lynx in her last matchup, and she’s reached 25-plus in three of her last four against the Lynx.
Mitchell is on an otherworldly tear, averaging 30 ppg across her last seven while hitting 25-plus six times. The Fever are fighting for playoff positioning, and I expect her to enjoy another elite scoring night. Play this to 60%.
