WNBA

Indiana enters with a 6-4 mark over its last ten and a strong home record, powered by 96.0 points per game, a 48.7 field goal percentage, and 38.6 percent from three. Las Vegas is also in good shape with an 8-2 run over its last ten and a seven-game winning streak, but the Aces average 91.5 points per game and have leaned more on efficiency and defense than raw scoring volume. Indiana’s offense versus a Las Vegas defense that holds opponents to 85.8 points per game sets up a competitive game, but the Fever’s ability to score at home keeps them live to win by a possession.
Indiana should be the slight side in a close game, with the Fever’s scoring numbers and home-court record enough to nudge them past Las Vegas. The Aces are the more balanced team defensively and have been hotter recently, but Indiana’s offensive production and the narrow market make the Fever the better play. I project Indiana to win 93-89 for a 182-point game, which supports Indiana Fever -1.5 as the best value on the board.
