Key Storylines
- The Fever are severely shorthanded. Caitlin Clark, Sophie Cunningham, Aari McDonald, and Sydney Colson are all out. But Indiana has managed to fight their way to a fifth game in this series thanks to the play of Kelsey Mitchell, Aliyah Boston, and their supporting cast.
- In Game 4, Boston delivered a monster line. She had 24 points, 14 rebounds, and 5 assists to lead the Fever to a win. Mitchell scored 25 points and continued her incredible postseason. Both will need to be great again in Game 5 if Indiana is going to have any chance to advance to the Finals.
- A’ja Wilson remains the centerpiece on the Aces side. She dropped 31 points in Game 4, but Las Vegas failed to close out the series at Indiana due to defensive lapses and rebounding issues.
- Las Vegas is at full strength from a health standpoint. They will look to lean on their depth and home-court advantage to close this series out.

I’ll lay the points with the Aces, as they should move on to face the Mercury for the WNBA championship.
