Ladies and gents, clear your schedules for this upcoming duel of the giants because we're going to have a real sizzler of a game between the Las Vegas Aces and the Indiana Fever.
Now, the Aces have got a few aces up their sleeves, no pun intended. A'ja Wilson has been nothing less than a gravity-defying meteor, soaring at 26.9 points per game this season. And, our gal, Kelsey Plum hasn't been shy, scoring an average of 18.4 points per game. Let's not forget Jackie Young, who's been chiseling her stats at 16.2 points per game this season.
On the flip side, the Indiana Fever's not sweating it, especially with Caitlin Clark who’s been dealing heaves of 24.7-pointers per game over the last month. And then there's Kelsey Mitchell, matching Wilson ace for ace with 24.9 points per game this past month. Aliyah Boston isn't getting any cooler either, dunking 14.5 points per game last month.
Looking into the NBA crystal ball, the Aces have outpaced the Fever in their past clashing horns. Talking milestone-to-milestone, Aces are sitting pretty at 22-13 in their regular season, with the Fever trailing slightly at 19-17.
In recent skirmishes, the Aces have exhibited a bit of a mixed bag, taking a tough hit from the New York Liberty, but then bouncing back against the Connecticut Sun. The Fever, on the other hand, have been running a fever indeed, racking up victories against the Atlanta Dream and the Los Angeles Sparks.
When it comes to positions in the standings, the Aces do hold a slight edge over the Fever, being 4th and 6th in the WNBA 2024 Eastern Conference, respectively.
So, with the grace of a fortune teller and the precision of a dart player, it's time for the moment you've all been waiting for; the prediction.
Albert’s Prediction: Las Vegas Aces by 4.
