Aces Face Fever In Crucial Game Two As Indiana Looks To Extend Series

The Indiana Fever and Las Vegas Aces meet Tuesday night in game 2 of their first round WNBA playoff series.

Las Vegas enters the series with a 1-0 advantage after topping Indiana 102-85 in Game 1 but A’ja Wilson scored 38 points and pulled down 16 rebounds for the Aces.

The Fever now head home to Gainbridge Fieldhouse, where they want to keep their postseason hopes alive.

The first round is best-of-three, so another Las Vegas win would terminate Indiana’s playoff run.

The Fever took two of three regular-season encounters between the teams, but Wilson appeared in only two of those games. That history lends another depth to Tuesday’s game.

Caitlin Clark is categorised as likely and is anticipated to play. Aliyah Boston is also plausible while Tyasha Harris is doubtful. The Aces will be missing Dana Evans and NaLyssa Smith.

Game 2 is set for 6:30 p.m. Eastern Time in Indianapolis. The fight will be live streamed on Prime Video.

Many commentators have pointed to different betting opportunities for the game.

Sports Illustrated finished with a total of 183.5 points and discussed Wilson’s scoring prop while other sites have looked at Indiana’s home-court play and the probability of a closer game.

These are public projections, and chances may change before tipoff.

The WNBA has declared that the series is now 1-0 Vegas. If Indiana wins, the series will go to Game 3.

Tuesday’s meeting is crucial for both clubs since elimination is on the horizon.
