The Valkyries' defense has made life tough for Paige Bueckers to get to her spots, but she has made at least two triples in three of her previous five games, and I like at least two triples from the Wings star tonight.

CBS SportsThe Wings last played Friday and lost by double digits at Indiana despite 29 points, six rebounds and six assists from Bueckers (20.5 PPG). It was her sixth game with at least 25/5/5, second-most in the league. Dallas is now 1-3 this season without rookie No. 1 overall pick Azzi Fudd. The former UConn star has missed the past four with a knee injury and remains out.

Thanks to an overtime victory against the Atlanta Dream on Sunday night, the Indiana Fever have won four straight games. They’re 23-12, owners of the fourth-best record in the WNBA, and if the playoffs were to start today, they’d host the Atlanta Dream in the first round of the playoffs.

Bleacher ReportThe Fever held them to just nine points in the final quarter, and Indiana eventually forced overtime, where it won 95-91. Reese finished with 15 points, 14 boards and six assists on 5-of-16 from the field. Allisha Gray had 32 points, but that wasn't enough to get past Clark's 26 points and nine assists. The Dream dropped to 21-13 with the loss, while the Fever improved to 23-12.
CBS SportsInstead, the Fever came back from a 10-point second-half deficit to win. The result moved them one and a half games ahead of the Dream in the standings and evened the season series at 2-2. In a two-team tiebreak, head-to-head record is the first tiebreaker, and the second is record against .500 or better teams at the end of the season. We'll now have to wait until the season is over to find out whether the Fever or Dream win the season series, but as of Sunday, the Fever are 10-10 against .500+ opponents and the Dream are 10-11.
ESPNFever get breathing room with key win vs. Dream The Fever defeated the Dream 95-91 in overtime on Sunday. It was a game with playoff implications that certainly felt like a postseason environment inside State Farm Arena.

01 CBS Sports The seeding doesn't quite work out for these two as of now to face off in Round 1 – the top eight clubs make the postseason and are seeded accordingly, regardless of conference – but it certainly could. Golden State (24-9) probably can't catch Minnesota (29-7) for the No. 1 seed but most surely isn't falling further than the No. 3 spot currently held by Las Vegas (24-12).

02 Bleacher Report Angel Reese had a blunt evaluation of her first-half performance against Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever on Sunday.

03 SB Nation For Indiana, it’s been an up-and-down season — filled with plenty of highs and plenty of lows. A litany of off-court storylines have dominated their year, from Sophie Cunningham’s controversial comments on trans women in sports, to hard fouls that have taken on a life of their own, to Fever fans booing head coach Stephanie White. These controversies have dominated so much that the (elite) on-court product has almost flown under the radar.
