Fever vs Aces predictions
All eyes are on the Indiana Fever as they head to T-Mobile Arena, especially with Kelsey Mitchell heating up. Mitchell’s been putting up an impressive 17.1 points per game and, facing a Las Vegas Aces squad desperate to snap their skid, you can expect her to push the tempo early and try to get hot from deep. Don’t sleep on Aliyah Boston—the rookie’s making massive waves and her all-around playmaking stands out, averaging almost 4 assists and over 8 boards a night. The Fever’s dynamic duo could create real matchup headaches, with Boston establishing herself in the paint and opening up those perimeter looks for Mitchell and the rest of the roster.
On the other side, A’ja Wilson is back doing what she does best: dominating both ends and setting the tone for the Aces. She’s racking up just over 20 points a game while pulling down double-digit rebounds, and you can tell she’s hungry to right the ship after a rocky three-game slide. Chelsea Gray’s ability to control the offense and dish out nearly four assists a night should help slow down the Fever’s fast break, setting up better shot opportunities for Jackie Young and Kelsey Plum. If Wilson gets rolling early, and Gray’s ankle holds up, Las Vegas could smother Indiana with that signature blend of defense and transition scoring.
Now, with both teams looking to break out of the middle of the pack, it really feels like this is Las Vegas’s moment to flip the script. They’re at home on the big stage, determined to protect the .500 mark at T-Mobile Arena and, with veterans like Wilson and Gray leading the way, that recent losing streak just might give them the edge in urgency. If the Aces can clamp down on Mitchell and battle Boston on the boards, you can bet they’ll find a way to halt the Fever’s momentum and walk out with a much-needed win. Who’s your pick—are you riding with the Aces or thinking Indiana pulls off a gutsy road upset?
