Due to their loss, the Fever’s chances of earning homecourt advantage for the playoffs dropped to eight percent, as per PlayoffStatus.com.
On the other hand, the Minnesota Lynx snapped a three-game losing streak with a 101-89 win over the Connecticut Sun. The Lynx needed the victory to stave off the Golden State Valkyries for the top seed in the WNBA.
The Lynx need one more win to earn homecourt advantage throughout the playoffs.
In their first meeting on August 2, the Lynx defeated the Fever 108-100 at the Target Center.
Fever and Lynx Playoff Seeding Scenario
The Indiana Fever are currently sitting fifth in the WNBA standings at 29-14. They will need to win their final two games, both against the Minnesota Lynx, to have a shot at earning the No. 4 seed.
The Atlanta Dream will need to lose their final regular season game against the New York Liberty to make it happen.
The Dream currently own the tie-breaker with a superior record against a .500 team, but if the Fever win two games against Minnesota, they will get the tie-breaker.
And if, for some reason, that the Las Vegas Aces lost their final two games against the Los Angeles Sparks and Phoenix Mercury, the Fever could get the third seed since they also own the tie-breaker against the defending champs.
Meanwhile, the Lynx just need to win one more game to secure the No. 1 seed. The Golden State Valkyries can steal the top seed if they won their final two games, and the Lynx dropped their last two against the Fever.
