Caitlin Clark is probable for the Fever despite a back issue. Tyasha Harris is out with a leg injury. Aliyah Boston is questionable with a leg issue.
Aces vs Fever Prediction
The Fever are going to be a popular pick for the betting public, and they’ve won 3 of the last 5 games against the Aces. However, this is the big girl part of the season, and there’s no team as accomplished or proven as the Aces. You’re giving me a small number with the Aces in the playoffs; I have to take it. Young is going to feast on this Fever backcourt that struggles defensively. Also, I don’t love seeing Boston on the injury report. Small number, I’ll gladly lay it with the Aces at home.
