The Indiana Fever are making a strong push for the playoffs, having won seven of their last ten games. After a brief losing skid, the team is now on a two-game winning streak, following victories over the Chicago Sky and a dominant performance against the New York Liberty.
Key to the Fever's recent success is their standout player, Kelsey Mitchell. Teammate Aliyah Boston recently declared Mitchell the team's Most Valuable Player. Mitchell is enjoying a career season, currently holding the second-highest scoring average in the WNBA at 24.3 points per game.
Mitchell continues to extend her own WNBA record for consecutive games scoring 20 or more points, now at 17 games.
