The stage is set for a high-stakes 2025 WNBA Commissioner’s Cup Final between the Minnesota Lynx and the Indiana Fever, with storylines brewing on and off the court. Lynx who have a better seed will have the home court advantage against Fever in one of the biggest games of the season.

The Minnesota Lynx have steamrolled opponents lately, and their Monday showdown with the Connecticut Sun followed the same script. The hosts led all the four quarters, giving no room for the Connecticut Sun.

Who leads the WNBA in total box score production this season? Here are the top eight players:

1. Napheesa Collier — 39.9
2. A’ja Wilson — 39.8
3. Alyssa Thomas — 33.3
4. Breanna Stewart — 33.0
5. Satou Sabally — 31.6

They dismantled the Sun with a commanding 102-63 win, reinforcing their title-contender credentials. Napheesa Collier led the scoresheet with 23 points and nine rebounds, while Kayla McBride wasn’t far away with 20 points and five assists. On the opposite side, Aneesah Morrow scored 16.

The Indiana Fever’s shaky season continues after a win against Bueckers’ Dallas Wings on Friday. The game went back and forth, but the Fever recorded a 94-86 win. Moreover, this win came without Caitlin Clark. Kelsey Mitchell was the star of the show, scoring 32 points.

Indiana Fever Injuries

Out – Damiris Dantas
Day-to-day – Caitlin Clark

The Fever’s hopes of lifting the Commissioner Cup hinge largely on the return of their marquee rookie, Caitlin Clark. Clark’s availability remains in flux, giving fans a mix of optimism and anxiety ahead of the championship clash.

Bad news being Caitlin Clark is questionable for the Cup Final due to a groin issue. On the upside, reports indicate Clark is improving physically, raising hopes for her potential return in Tuesday’s showdown.
