GAME PREVIEW:

The resilient Indiana Fever (22-20) can officially clinch a playoff spot on Sunday with a win over the Washington Mystics (16-26) in Baltimore.

Despite enduring five season-ending injuries, the Fever are on the verge of securing a playoff berth for the second straight season. Their 97-77 win over Chicago on Friday night coupled with Los Angeles’ loss in Atlanta bumped their magic number down to one. The Fever can secure a spot in the postseason on Sunday with either a win or a Sparks loss to Dallas.

Indiana outscored the Sky 31-15 in the first quarter on Friday and never let Chicago back within single digits the rest of the night. Kelsey Mitchell added another strong stat line to her All-WNBA campaign, finishing with a game-high 20 points and eight assists.

The Mystics are 2-1 against the Fever this season, but Washington is now eliminated from playoff contention.

Sonia Citron, a rookie guard out of Notre Dame, leads the Mystics in scoring at 14.9 points per game and is shooting 43.7 percent from 3-point range.

After playing the Mystics on the road, the Fever will return to Indianapolis to close out the regular season against Minnesota on Tuesday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The playoffs begin on Sunday, Sept. 14.
