Why the Fever vs. Mystics matchup matters
Sunday's meeting arrives with the playoff picture still unsettled. Both teams have already secured postseason berths, but their final seeding remains significant with only a handful of regular-season games left.
Indiana enters the contest at 27-14, while Washington is 25-16. The Fever are currently fifth in the league standings, with the Mystics sitting seventh, and both teams are part of a tightly packed group competing for position behind the leading teams.
That makes the result particularly important for Indiana as it tries to maintain a favorable position heading into the playoffs. The Fever also arrive with momentum after defeating the Toronto Tempo 103-85 on Friday, a victory that extended their winning streak to three games.
Clark remains one of the central storylines. The Fever guard is averaging 8.5 assists per game during the 2026 regular season, according to current team statistics, underlining the role her playmaking has had in Indiana's offense.
The Mystics have also put together a strong season after securing their playoff place. Washington defeated the Chicago Sky 110-80 in its most recent game on September 17, giving the team another opportunity to improve its position before the postseason begins.
The two teams have already met twice this season, with each side taking one game. That adds another layer to Sunday's contest because the final regular-season meeting will determine which team takes the season series.
Indiana's final two regular-season games after Sunday's matchup are both against the Minnesota Lynx, while Washington closes its schedule with games against the Connecticut Sun and Chicago Sky.
For fans wanting to watch Caitlin Clark and the Fever before that difficult closing stretch, the information is straightforward: Mystics vs. Fever tips off at 4 p.m. ET on Sunday, September 20, with NBA TV carrying the national broadcast.
