Kelsey Mitchell posted her sixth straight 25-point game as the Indiana Fever went 3-1 on a western road trip, improving to 14-9 and climbing to No. 4 in the ESPN WNBA Power Rankings. The Fever beat Phoenix and Las Vegas after a loss at Los Angeles, with Mitchell averaging a career-high 22.7 points on 48.8% shooting.

Caitlin Clark returned from back issues and Aliyah Boston from a leg injury, bolstering Indiana ahead of a four-game homestand starting Wednesday against the Golden State Valkyries. Coach Stephanie White praised Mitchell's speed and endurance, calling her the fastest player with the ball.

Golden State holds No. 1 at 17-7 with a seven-game win streak and the league's top defense. Minnesota (18-6) rises to No. 2, Dallas (16-8) to No. 3. A'ja Wilson returned for Las Vegas but the Aces dropped to No. 5 after a historic 109-75 loss to Indiana, the largest point-differential swing in WNBA history.
