The Indiana Fever plays the Connecticut Sun at home next. With the latter making the postseason already, there will be a sense of urgency for the Fever to rack up a couple more wins under their belt, and put some distance between them and the No. 8 seed, Chicago Sky. The Dream takes on the Seattle Storm.
