Indiana Fever host Minnesota Lynx in WNBA showdown
The Indiana Fever travel to the Target Center in Minneapolis on Sunday, Aug. 2, 2026, to face the league‑leading Minnesota Lynx. The Lynx enter the game with a 24‑6 record, a nine‑game winning streak and a chance to notch their 25th victory of the season. The Fever sit at 19‑10, riding a five‑game winning streak and looking to upset the top seed.
Caitlin Clark, the Fever’s star guard, is listed as probable despite a lingering back issue. She recently posted a fourth career triple‑double (26 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists) in a win over the Portland Fire, becoming the fastest player in WNBA history to reach four triple‑doubles. Clark’s season averages hover around 21.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 7.9 assists.
Minnesota’s key contributors include Olivia Miles (19.4 points, 4.7 rebounds, 5.8 assists) and Napheesa Collier, who returned from ankle surgery. The Lynx average 92.2 points per game and shoot 48.1% from the field. Indiana averages 96.4 points per game and shoots 48.2%.
The matchup will be broadcast on ABC at 1 p.m. ET, with streaming options on Fubo, DirecTV Stream and the ESPN app. Betting lines list Minnesota as a 5.5‑point favorite.
