Indiana Fever ready for playoffs, opponent doesn't matter

Who will the Indiana Fever play in the playoffs?

The Indiana Fever clinched a spot in the WNBA playoffs on Tuesday night with a 104-87 victory over the Chicago Sky. It's the team's first playoff appearance since 2016.

The Fever will open the playoffs on the road against the top-seeded Las Vegas Aces on Sunday.

Fever say it doesn't matter who they play

"Wherever we go, we go," Fever coach Marianne Stanley said. "We're just excited to be in the playoffs. We've worked hard all season to get to this point, and we're ready to compete."

The Fever finished the regular season with a 12-20 record, which was good for seventh place in the WNBA standings. They will be a heavy underdog against the Aces, who finished the season with a 26-10 record.

But the Fever are confident that they can pull off an upset.
