Indiana Fever Preview

The Fever have found their game at the right time, winning four of the last five. Kelsey Mitchell has been the spark, averaging more than 23 points in the postseason while shooting with confidence from outside. Aliyah Boston continues to control the paint, pulling down nearly 10 boards per game in the playoffs. Indiana’s defense has also stepped up, holding Atlanta to just 60 points in Game 2 of the first round before closing the series on the road.

Indiana’s talent on the bench has helped handle injuries. Odyssey Sims has filled a key role, running the offense and adding over five assists per game in the postseason. Natasha Howard adds scoring inside, giving the Fever a steady second option in the frontcourt. If Mitchell gets hot early, Indiana has the scoring power to keep pace with Las Vegas.

Las Vegas Aces Preview

The Aces survived a tough test in Seattle and now open at home, where they’ve been one of the league’s most dangerous teams over the final month. A’ja Wilson has been unstoppable, putting up nearly 30 points per game with strong rebounding and rim protection. Jackie Young has added consistent scoring on the perimeter, giving the Aces another go-to option.
