Aces vs Fever Prediction
You can make a case for the Fever and the points as they have the rest advantage and already smoked the Aces last week. The Aces are on the end of a back-to-back, but they don’t have to travel, and they didn’t have to play their starters much after giving the Mercury the belt. The Aces are playing their best ball of the season, and they’re the more consistent and trustworthy team. The Fever continue to be hit or miss, and they’ve actually been better when Clark isn’t in the lineup. The Aces should have a field day offensively, and this is a revenge spot for a veteran team that doesn’t forget. I’ll lay the chalk with Vegas.
