Indiana Fever vs. Las Vegas Aces Pick
Spread Pick for Fever vs. Aces
- Las Vegas Aces -8.5 (5 units)

They also have a coaching advantage with Becky Hammond leading the Aces. Indiana has been a good team that just pulled off an upset in the first round of the postseason, but their inability to shoot well makes things more difficult to expect them to keep it close. All in all, go with the Las Vegas Aces to cover the spread.

These teams are going to get stops as looking at the defensive ratings in the playoffs, the Fever are second with a 93.4 defensive rating, while the Aces are sixth with a 100.0 defensive rating thus far. The injuries for Indiana show a difficult time for the team to score and Las Vegas is one of the top defenses in the entire WNBA.
