This will be their first trip to the postseason since 2017, and they have been elevated by rookie\u00a0Caitlin Clark, who has transformed the league and women&#8217;s sports in general.<\/p>\n<p>Fellow All-Star guard\u00a0Kelsey Mitchell\u00a0has also played a large role in the Fever&#8217;s resurgence by averaging 19.6 points a game and shooting 46.7% from the field and 40.2% from 3-point range. The two have helped give Indiana one of the league&#8217;s better offenses, and the team won&#8217;t be an easy out in the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>Mitchell is about to play in the WNBA playoffs for the first time, and for advice on how to handle this new challenge, she reached out to a curious source of advice: Los Angeles Lakers guard D&#8217;Angelo Russell.<\/p>\n<p>Via\u00a0Silver Screen and Roll:<\/p>\n<div class=\"caas-pull-quote-wrapper caas-img caas-lazy caas-loaded\" data-src=\"\" data-caas-lazy-loading-init=\"1\">\n<blockquote class=\"caas-blockquote\"><p>\u201cI recently talked to my close friend D\u2019Angelo Russell. We go way back. Me and him go back to the point where we trained together at Ohio State [University]. We kind of know each other so, from that perspective, it was good to get a conversation in regards to how [the playoffs] looked. &#8230; I like to get as much information as I can so it\u2019s been exciting to hear about it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p>Fans will likely find Mitchell&#8217;s decision to go to Russell for this type of advice hilarious. While Russell is always a threat to go into volcano mode during the regular season, he is usually devoid of lava come playoff time.<\/p>\n<p>Since coming to the Lakers in February 2023, he has shot just 41.4% from the field and 31.3% from downtown in 21 playoff games. In fact, he put up a bagel in Game 3 of the first round of last season&#8217;s first round versus the Denver Nuggets.<\/p>\n<p>Compare that to his marks of 45.6% overall and 41.5% from downtown this past regular season, as well as his marks of 48.4% from the field and 41.4% from beyond the arc in 17 regular season contests with L.A. the previous year.<\/p>\n<p>If Mitchell wants to know how to be wildly inconsistent with her shooting come playoff time, she has asked the right man for advice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The WNBA regular season is almost over, and the\u00a0Indiana Fever\u00a0are about to take the next step and head to the playoffs.
