Fever vs. Lynx Prediction, Spread, WNBA Picks – Thursday, September 24

The Indiana Fever vs. Minnesota Lynx game is set to tip off at 8 p.m. ET on Thursday, September 24, with the Fever entering as 1.5-point favorites on the spread and returning a 1.58x payout to win, via PrizePicks. 

The Lynx (32-11) secured the league’s top seed after a Valkyries loss, despite dropping their most recent game to the Fever on Tuesday. They now host Indiana in the back end of a home-and-home series, with this one expected to feature heavy minutes for reserves on Minnesota's side.

The Fever (28-15) still have something to play for with the fifth and sixth seeds still in flux. After Wednesday's results, Indiana can no longer finish in the top four, meaning they may go without home-court advantage throughout the entire postseason.

Below, we'll break down our Fever vs. Lynx prediction and picks for Thursday's WNBA game, including the spread, over/under, and key player picks for PrizePicks.

Fever vs. Lynx Prediction, Spread, Over/Under – Thursday, September 24

The Valkyries' loss to the Fire has eliminated any drama around the top seed. Minnesota is officially locked in as the #1 seed for the second straight season and can now look ahead to a first-round matchup with the New York Liberty.

Minnesota hosts the Fever tonight in what could be a short evening for most of Cheryl Reeve's rotation players.

Reeve will again be without star G Olivia Miles, who is set to miss her second straight game as she prepares for her first postseason run. Without Miles, the Lynx struggled to generate any offense on Tuesday, and Reeve pulled her starters with the Fever comfortably ahead after just over a quarter of play.

A similar game plan could be in the cards tonight.

Indiana, meanwhile, is still playing for something. A win tonight guarantees the Fever the fifth seed, setting up a first-round matchup against the Dream — adding another chapter to the Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese rivalry.

A loss, paired with a Mystics win, would drop Indiana to the sixth seed and set up a potential matchup against either the defending champion Aces or the Valkyries.

Expect the Fever to come out aggressive again but potentially give some rotation players lighter minutes with a deep playoff run ahead.

Fever vs. Lynx Picks, Player Stats for PrizePicks: 9/24/26

Here are the top Fever vs. Lynx picks to target on Thursday, September 24. Today’s WNBA picks for PrizePicks include Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell.

Fever G Caitlin Clark vs. Lynx: 34.5 Pts + Rebs + Asts

• Clark enters the postseason as one of the league's hottest players, scoring 21 or more points in six straight games after Tuesday's 27-point performance.
• She wasted no time against the Lynx on Tuesday, posting 14 points in the first half and finishing with 43 combined points, rebounds, and assists, just short of a triple-double.
• Barring an unexpected league-wide scoring surge, Clark will finish in the top three in both PPG (22.8) and assists per game (8.5). The third-year guard is also having a career year efficiency-wise, shooting 45.2% from the field and 36.9% from deep.
• Clark has averaged 44.8 combined points, rebounds, and assists over her last five games — the first player ever to average 30+ points and 10+ assists over such a stretch.

Add Caitlin Clark + Fever to cover the spread to your PrizePicks lineup now.

Fever G Kelsey Mitchell vs. Fever: 24.5 Points

• Mitchell extended her record-breaking streak of 20+ points to 27 straight games in Tuesday’s victory over the Lynx — a run now active for over three months.
• Indiana's MVP candidate is averaging 25.0 PPG, second only to Aces C A'ja Wilson, and broke the single-season scoring record with 1,076 points in 43 games played.
• With that said, the normally hyper-efficient scorer has shot just 42.4% over her last two games — nearly 10% below her season average — going just 5-of-17 from 3-point land despite shooting over 45% from beyond the arc on the year.
• Those last two games ended a six-game streak of 25+ points. With the Lynx expected to potentially lean heavily on reserves, Mitchell may not need to carry the offensive load tonight.

Add Kelsey Mitchell + Fever to win to your PrizePicks lineup now.
