Aces vs Fever Prediction
This game loses some of its steam with Clark and Wilson not playing. Now, I have said many times before that the Fever are better without Clark, as the ball moves more and there’s less liability defensively. However, the Fever haven’t played in 8 days, so who knows if rust plays a role here. Without Wilson, the Aces beat the Sky in a gusty overtime win and took the Liberty down to the wire in the Commissioner’s Cup. Young and Gray have stepped up in Wilson’s absence, and at home, I’d need more points to look the other way. Give me the Aces and the small number.
