Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the WNBA match.
The Las Vegas Aces suffered a shock in Game 1, falling 73:89 to the Indiana Fever, and are now staring at potential disaster. If the Fever return home with a 2-0 lead, it is hard to see them letting the chance of reaching the finals slip away.
Las Vegas Aces
The defeat came down to a complete lack of bench production. Kierstan Bell played 16 minutes and contributed just a single assist, while Megan Gustafson managed only four points. Stars often decide playoff games, but without any meaningful support, the Aces were overwhelmed.
Indiana Fever
The Indiana Fever stuck to their trademark style – fast, high-energy basketball. They finished with 17 assists, seven steals and constant off-the-ball movement that unsettled the Las Vegas Aces. That left Kelsey Mitchell wide open far too often, and she punished them with a stunning 34-point performance.
Las Vegas Aces vs Indiana Fever Prediction
The sides have already met four times this season, with Indiana winning three of them. Despite that, bookmakers still list the Las Vegas Aces as favourites. That looks like a mistake, and the value lies with the visitors keeping this one close.
