Indiana Fever Face Atlanta Dream in 2025 WNBA Playoffs

The Indiana Fever will face the Atlanta Dream in the first round of the 2025 WNBA Playoffs, starting Sunday, September 14, in a best-of-three series. Indiana secured the No. 6 seed with a 24-20 record despite dealing with five season-ending injuries, including to star player Caitlin Clark, highlighting the team's resilience. The Dream, holding the No. 3 seed with a 30-14 record, also had a franchise-best season and present a strong challenge, especially with their dominant post players Brionna Jones and Brittney Griner. The teams split their regular-season series 2-2, but all games occurred before midseason, and the Fever have since faced significant roster challenges. Game 1 will be in Atlanta, with Game 2 in Indianapolis, and if necessary, a deciding Game 3 back in Atlanta. Expert analysis suggests the Fever may win a game but are unlikely to overcome the surging Dream, who have a strong postseason push.
